I fell in love with Lea Seydoux in Midnight In Paris, a role in which she was happy and charming, so watching her in this where her mettle was tested made you root for her, more.
It is no surprise that this film obtained praise. Charming and touching in equal measure, it boasts a luminous performance from its star, possessing a gamin allure that perfectly captures the character she portrays...a widowed mother of a young girl, balancing that role with her work whilst also faced with caring for her ailing father - a man whose life was based on mental accuity but who has been struck down by cognitive illness and is suffering an increasing need for 24/7 care. Finding sudden passion with an old friend via a chance encounter after some years, she finds herself torn between her duty to her father and her own need of love. A gentle rewarding story set in the great city of Paris.
A really outstanding treatment of what is unfortunately an all too common problem nowadays. A professor of philosophy who lives alone has reached the limit of his mental capacity to manage by himself, and who must accept the solution that his devoted daughter and ex-wife decide for his welfare. Very well acted, the subject matter of this film could hardly have been more realistically done.
