Romaine par moins 30 (2009) - film review

At 30, Romaine is settled in her life and has a steady relationship with her boyfriend Justin.  Then, one Christmas, her life changes forever.  Justin takes her to the airport and announces that they are to start a new life together, raising dogs in Canada.  Romaine is not enthused by the idea but agrees to play along for the time being.  In mid-flight over the Atlantic, Romaine hears the air hostess mention that the plane is about to crash.  Fearing that she has just a few minutes left to live, Romaine opens her heart to Justin.  But the anticipated disaster doesn’t happen, and Romaine has to live with the consequences of what she has said...

Sandrine Kiberlain gives a deliciously ironic yet truthful portrayal of a woman on the brink of a mid-life crisis in this bitter sweet comedy from director Agnès Obadia.  The stunning Quebec setting adds a poetic quality to a film that resonates with charm and good humour.
