I Got Life! (2017)
(Aurore)
Country: FR
Technical: col 89m
Director: Blandine Lenoir
Cast: Agnès Jaoui, Thibault de Montalembert, Pascale Arbillot, Sarah Suco, Lou Roy-Lecollinet
Synopsis:
Fifty-something single mum, Aurore, is at a crossroads: her new boss insists on calling her Samantha, her daughter is expecting, and she is prey to hot flushes. Then she meets her first love again by chance: is there life for her yet?
Review:
And why shouldn't a French film about the menopause get the same rating as a Mitchell Leisen screwball comedy, when it is as well written and performed as this one? A rarely treated topic that is relevant to 100% of the female population is here handled with sensitivity, laugh-out-loud humour and pathos, and without once sacrificing the sense of watching ordinary people. Jaoui is terrific, and though this is not by her, her place at the head of intelligent sex comedy in French cinema (for want of a better word) remains unchallenged.
