I can only assume that the reviewer who described this movie as a rom-com either watched a different film to me or understands something completely different by the term. It's about as far away from a rom-com as can be.
Equally, the extended Paris Travel Service sponsored scenes of Paris simply don't exist in the film that I saw.
It's a sensitive 90 odd minute film centered on the main character, Rachel, a childless 40 something woman whose biological clock is ticking rapidly. She's faced with (spoiler alert!) finding love and the possibility of a child of her own but then having that hope extinguished. Her younger sister then finds herself having an unplanned pregnancy and gives birth making Rachel an auntie.
This is probably why we see a few close ups of Virginie Efira....the film explores her emotions and reactions to events as they unfold. Not unreasonably I think.
Sure, we don't get really deep into the backgrounds of the other characters (it's a 90 minute movie) but, we see insights into Ali (likes football and music), what Dylan's future life looks like, and Rachel's family sufficient for the purposes of the narrative.
It's a good movie.
