God Is Great and I'm Not
The impossibly adorable Audrey Tautou (Amelie,Dirty Pretty  Things) stars in this remarkably vivid portrait of a relationship.  Michelle (Tautou), a fashion model, sets off on a spiritual quest in the  hope of finding emotional balance. What she finds is a veterinarian named  Francois (Edouard Baer,Alias Betty), whose ambivalence about being  Jewish leads Michelle to study the faith and consider conversion. The plot  sounds heavy, butGod Is Great (And I'm Not)is actually a light,  fluid movie that's as alert to the thousand tiny ways in which men and  women miscommunicate and defeat their best intentions. Michelle's  spiritual yearnings are questionable, yet Tautou captures her hunger for  something more and makes it real, even if it may also be shallow. The  movie stutters, slips sideways and back, and circles around--and in the  end, says more about modern romance than a dozen Hollywood romantic  comedies.--Bret Fetzer
