Didine (2008) - film review

30-something Alexandrine – known as Didine to her friends – is someone who can’t help acting on impulse.  When she finds a teddy bear left behind whilst visiting her friend in hospital, she has to return it to its owner, an old woman who is dependent on the care provided by a charitable organisation.  Before she knows it, Didine has made several new friends and discovered a new love in her life...

With its anodyne storyline and implausible, under-developed characters, Didine offers an ironic look at modern life which somehow fails to come alive.  The direction, acting and writing are would be acceptable for a one-hour TV drama, but lack that vital spark needed for a full-length film.
