Friendship has never been so REAL!

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2020)

The highest praise I can give this incredibly authentic ode to friendship is that I really knew that what I was watching is a semi-autobiographical film without knowing this fact before. It definitely doesn't bring anything new to the table when it comes to the way it explores its major theme in, but Malle's way of enriching his two lead characters through his sensitive direction in a most delicate, effortless and unindulgent way is more than enough to compensate for any of the film's shortcomings.
(8.5/10)
