CGiii Comment

Epic, as in length...and, substantially fatal.

A thoroughly vile array of friends and a cumbersome ensemble piece.

One friend lies dying in hospital and all the others decide to go away on holiday - now, is that not a fatally flawed premise?!?

The last 15 minutes or so should be obliterated from the face of the earth...the cheap and shabby sentimentality will have you heaving into a very large bucket.

Monsieur Canet...with this film, you have firmly entrenched yourself up your own ass.

The(ir) Blurb...

Every year, Max, a successful restaurant owner, and Véro, his eco-friendly wife invite a merry group of friends to their beautiful beach house to celebrate Antoine's birthday and kick-start the vacation. But, this year, before they all leave Paris, their buddy Ludo is hurt in a serious accident, which sets off a dramatic chain of reactions and emotional responses. The eagerly anticipated vacation leads each of the protagonists to raise the little veils that for years they have draped over what bothers and upsets them. Pretenses become increasingly hard to keep up.
