When going to a film by Francois Ozon, one must be ready to bear a burden of characters' /unhappy/ relationships. The recently divorced couple does the final step to end their marriage. Even though after all Marion tells her former husband that "the divorce was just an end of something, that nobody won and nobody lose" I felt that both of them lost. During the entire movie neither Marion nor Gill were happy, especially when they were together. Their story is narrated from the divorce to their first hot Mediterranean sunset, and at the end of movie their feelings towards each other were the same. Not the real love, just a fear of not being with someone.
While in the "Water Drops..." the characters dealt with the jealousy and love, in 5*2 Marion and Gill faced the wrong decision to turn a potential affair into marriage. Story is very personal and intimate and director built it upon the acting of two great actors. Performance of Valeria Bruni Tedeschi /Marion/ was excellent.
Don't expect the romantic comedy, it is rather probe into one mistake. Worth of seeing.
7/10
