.... yes in that sweet spot. Kitchen-sink and social classes but with comedic and Gallic energy
The casting is spot-on. Gilles Lellouche always does a great selfish male character with a modicum of empathic quality trying to shine through but failing to get an expression
The France character here ; the name picked to show a state-of-play in 2011 when the film was made no doubt pitches greedy US style trader vs one of their victims
2023 when i write this many more have understood there would never be a trickle-down. The trickle was always gonna go up not down and that was the plan from the start .... so the stupid last 40 years might finally come to a close soon
Neoliberalism/deregulation/globalization and all this inhuman insanity has now FULLY shown its true face and all the gangsters who promoted it hopefully one day will be in the dock (if posthumously) with Milton Ronnie and Maggie and Tony and Emmanuel and all the bit players.
I agree with all the guys who discussed it here. The final twist is an error of judgment on France's part here as it was for Klapisch. Two wrongs do not ever make a right ... not sure what either were really thinking but hey minor blemish great idea as a film and YES the message is totally on the correct target.
