CinemaSerf5 Oct 21, 2023"Noah" (Thibaut Cattelin) joins his pals "Rox" (Alexia Cicard) and "Corentin" (Benoît Rischewski) on a road trip round France. Also on the trip is "Lohan" (Jules Bahoul - if Eddie Redmayne ever needs a stunt double?). Now the two men don't quite hit it off at the start. The former has clearly undergone some sort of trauma in his recent past and so is usually topped up with anti-depressants. "Lohan" is an asthmatic. Gradually the two start to realise that they have one - quite significant - thing in common and that gradually developing bond provides the thrust for this really rather unremarkable drama. It has a start and a middle that we will all recognise from many films before but the ending is frankly quite horrific and sadly, from a character perspective, rather under-developed. Quite what director Théodore Tomasz was trying to do here was not at all clear to me and that rather disappointed. Still, it's quite well photographed and we do get a warming sense of their burgeoning intimacy as the hour this takes moves along effortlessly. I don't know - it's just as if the writers were trying shock and it mis-fired at the end. See what you think, they are all very easy on the eye and it's just about worth an hour of your time.
