Falimy reminded me of all the feel-good, slice-of-life films I have seen since the COVID-19 pandemic. They have a steady mix of comedy, familial emotions, and a basic plot. Falimy has all of them and it uses them to keep you glued to the screen, also thanks to the excellent cast choice and performance. Yet, it felt cinematic in a couple of sequences that were not meant to be but which left an artificial taste in my mouth. That was what made me feel less excited about Falimy as it turned into a road film. I'm a sucker for road films, but the road part in Falimy is pedestrian to say the least, pun intended. If you're not tired of those happy-go films, this is for you.
