The opening gala of Cannes showcases a musical that misses its mark, featuring a protagonist named Cecile, who, upon learning of her father's heart attack, must confront her workaholic lifestyle and her past relationships. The film, adapted from Amelie Bonnin's award-winning short, is marred by its incoherent blending of themes and lackluster performances. Despite its attempts at exploring family values and culinary traditions, it ultimately stumbles into a narrative void, leaving a sense of dissatisfaction in its wake.
The film’s burden of trite and naive sentimentality remains a key issue, as it fails to weave its themes into a coherent romantic narrative.
Cecile's journey is hindered not only by her mundane encounters but also by her indecision regarding the value of her family’s traditional cooking.
