    Good, but for me the awkward prolonged sex scenes detracted from the story. Plus I was sitting right next to my French professor during them....

    In fact I saw it today.
    It's just an advice: if you like philosophy you have to see it!
    It's a very deeply movie, about philosophy, religion and love. The actors are very good and the camera is another carachter.

    This is an excellent cultural snapshot and has a near archetypal presentation of the Sephardi French Jewish mother. Very good sense of Jewish family issues, a quite good insider/outsider look besides being a good drama.

    I like this and I bet it's a good film. Opposites do attract.
