Sigh. The first 40 minutes of this movie are absolutely fantastic. And then it just stops. The story just stops moving, yet there’s still an hour left of you and your date sitting in a theatre watching. . .something. . .up there flickering on the screen. It’s actually quite remarkable from a train wreck perspective. Leconte has made many wonderful films. This ain’t one of ’em.
