"The filmâs 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 familyâs traditional cooking."
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.
