Flower 0478 (5 / 5): “What a beautiful story! The actors Benjamin Lavernhe and Pierre Lottin are exceptional in their roles. Such talented, captivating, moving actors. The music is wonderful, especially the iconic Boléro. I highly recommend this film.“

sylv17 (5 / 5): “An incredibly moving film, seen today in La Rochelle at a preview with the great Benjamin Lavernhe. A film about values and illness, set against a backdrop of classical music. For me, it was a positive shock and a wonderful evening.“

Thomas P (4.5 / 5): “Excellent film that breaks away from the cliché of the wealthy, cold snob who becomes cool through contact with a rough, stupid but life-savvy poor man. The plot is original. Lots of very funny moments against a dramatic backdrop without being maudlin. The direction is superb, allowing the actors to express themselves and tell a story without being overly theatrical. A success on par with ‘The Intouchables.’ Highly recommended.“
