Review of Delicacy

Delicacy (2011)
8/10
Gentleness
18 August 2014
I wonder who decided to name this film "Delicacy" in English... Since the French title "La Délicatesse" means literally "Gentleness" and the story is all about gentleness in the relationship between the main characters.

A very French film, a gentle film about gentleness and love. Good writing (the film was deservedly nominated for a César award), good acting, catchy soundtrack. I enjoyed it very much, but it's not your typical romantic comedy... I would say that it is not a comedy at all, but rather it is a deep and delicate drama about people who have been hurt in the past and how they need to recover gently, slowly, in order to be able to love again.
