La Vie d'une autre

For the first half hour, I thought that this was exactly the kind of feel-good movie that would leave a smile on my lips after watching it. However, when Marie, played by the charming Juliette Binoche, discovers how badly she has wasted her life and what she has lost by her behavior, the plot takes on a bitter flavor of confusion. In fact, I can't imagine how I would react to finding out that I would not remember the crucial years of my life at all. It's a pretty scary thought. However, the subject matter suited me perfectly, as well as the musical accompaniment. I also liked the casting of the main roles very much, so I had no reason to dissect the logic of the story. I preferred to ride the wave of slightly frustrating romance. Plus, it's been a long time since I thought I wanted a sequel at the end of a movie. (01/09/2020)

Juliette Binoche is the main reason why I watched until the end credits. In terms of the script, the idea is actually great but as soon as Juliette wakes up one morning with amnesia, I didn’t laugh once prior to this, by the way, I knew what direction the movie was going in. My search for humor in the movie was in vain, but the idea that you wake up and cannot remember the last 10 years for no apparent reason, which takes your mind to a different place, fascinated me a lot. People’s opinions change and I don’t need an eccentric politician who would convince me of this by their crazy behavior. I’d rather watch the beautiful Juliette whose life turned upside down because of this and I at least had a reason to wish for all of this not to be in vain. (24/03/2018)

This is such a great theme! A woman is with a man, and then suddenly, boom, she wakes up, she's ten years older, but she doesn't remember what she did for the last ten years. She must confront her remembered essence, which is ten years old, with the significantly different reality. The acting was good, but the storyline doesn't fully utilize its potential. (07/08/2017)
