To go further

The story of a couple in their thirties told out of order. On the program: fighting woman, conciliatory guy, cooking competition, PMA, return to nature, cancer… So many markers of a spirit of the times of which the film proves rather worthy, its temporal deconstruction producing some sensitive mirror effects and reflecting the ambivalence of every life choice. Florence Pugh (“Oppenheimer”, “Midsommar”) establishes a presence that has amazed us since “The Young Lady”. Alas, from the clean interiors worthy of a Maisons du Monde catalog to the cocker spaniel looks of Andrew Garfield, the tear in the eye in each shot, including the purely utilitarian appearances of the child, the melodrama is of a superfluous nature . Too bohemian to be honest.
