Admirable film.
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreI am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
View MoreThis is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
View MoreI found myself thinking the whole time "Well, just goes to show women always go for the assholes." She's a successful artist, beautiful and smart, and goes for married men and jerks every single time. There's one guy who is single and clearly adores her, but she blows him off every time they bump into each other. I can't even remember how the movie ends. I hated most of her boyfriends. An ex-husband shows up at some point and there is an argument. All in all, nothing really happens, nothing is resolved. At least that i can remember, anyway. I probably just sat through whole movie because I love looking at Juliette Binoche. An utterly forgettable movie.
View MoreThe French film Un beau soleil intérieur (2017) was shown in the U.S. with the title Let the Sunshine In. It was co-written and directed by Claire Denis.Juliette Binoche portrays Isabelle, who is an artist. Isabelle is looking for love, but also looking for sex. In fact, she tells a friend that the only way she can climax when making love with one man is to think to herself, "He's a bastard." (Which he is.) Why would she stay with this man? She's looking for love in all the wrong places. That's the problem with the film, and probably why it has a terrible IMDb rating of 6.2. I might have given it a rating of 6 or 7, but Binoche is such a great actor that she earns the movie an additional point. Even if you think Juliette is foolish and misguided, Binoche makes you believe that she is that woman. You can decry her mistakes, but you can't dislike the portrayal. (Of course, it doesn't hurt that Binoche is so elegant and beautiful.)So, if you don't think you'd like a movie about a neurotic French artist, stay away. If you want to see what great acting looks like, see Un beau soleil intérieur.P.S. There's a long article about director Claire Denis in the May 28th issue of The New Yorker. However, the interviewer concentrated on Denis' next film, not this one.P.P.S. Can you recognize the old, overweight clairvoyant who appears at the end of the movie?
View MoreI found this pretty interminable and ultimately inconsequential. Quite a self indulgent exercise.
View MoreJuliette Binoche is mesmerising to look at, but that is the only redeeming feature of one of the most boring and inane movies ever made. The only reason I stayed until almost the end was that my partner had fallen asleep early in the movie and I didn't want to wake her up. Gérard Depardieu droning on at the end was the final straw and fortunately my partner woke up watched him for 2 minutes and said "let's leave". In conclusion, that was 1.5 hours of my life that I will never get back.
