Love Actually

Un cadeau cinématographique de Noël dans lequel chacun, qui a aimé ne serait-ce qu'une fois, y trouvera le sien. Que l'on ait 17 ou 40 ans, que l'on soit noir ou blanc, séduisant ou moins séduisant. 4 étoiles pour le fait que je ne me suis pas identifié à tous les personnages (ce qui est naturel) et 20 étoiles secrètes pour ce seul segment qui m'a figé et laissé sans voix. Et aussi pour la générosité et l'amour complets avec lesquels ce film a été créé par tous les participants. (11/11/2003)

Those of you who would ever pay gold for just a pinch of good mood, I invite you all to pre-Christmas London. I have seen many performances and I can recite the lines by heart, but a while ago Curtis stole me away again, so I can't fully return to my thoughts. In Love Actually, everything is heavenly, and therefore there may be something that might not appeal to you. However, there is also so much amazingness in it that when I add up the shy guys, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth, the triumphant Bill Nighy, the unforgettable Keira Knightley, the discreet angel Rowan Atkinson, or the few seconds of magical cameo by Elisha Cuthbert, there is too much perfection in one movie. The best romantic comedy and one of my top 10. (18/07/2005)

After the third viewing I can say for sure that this film is simply perfect, both touching and funny, non-violent, unobtrusive and made with such love that the adjective heavenly is not nearly enough. It's exactly one of those amazing films that I'm fan of here on FilmBooster and that is guaranteed to lift my spirits anytime, anywhere with its Christmas atmosphere and a plethora of familiar faces. Whether it's Bill Nighy and his quirky rocker, the modest and cheerful Prime Minister Hugh Grant, the head-over-heels in love and shy Laura Linney or the traditionally magnificent crown in the form of Rowan Atkinson’s salesman, all of them and many others instantly grow close to the heart and for two hours become such a part of it that they leave a lasting impression. But the one who excels the most is Curtis, the director. All the stories are perfectly intertwined and you are not confused for a moment, on the contrary, you suddenly feel that the world is much simpler and more beautiful. The boundaries of kitsch are attacked by the premise itself, but the final result is so original and tastefully filmed that only the biggest nitpicker could reproach any sentiment or slight cliché. Simply a beautiful, wonderful spectacle whose magic cannot be expressed in words. (14/10/2011)

A well-cast hilarious British comedy. As it is a Christmas film, there’s a huge dose of romance, which is not to say it’s a bad thing. The film works really well as a whole. The only parts I didn't like were the Liam Neeson scenes, which tugged a little too much at the heartstrings. On the other hand, the characters played by Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy were excellent. " Don't buy drugs. Become a pop star and they give you them for free!" (01/07/2016)

In every genre category, I have a film that comes close to, or equals, perfection, simply a 100% film. Among romantic comedies, this spot is taken by Heavenly Love, and it must be said that it emerged as the clear winner. But yes, a nitpicker could argue that the screenwriter did not burden himself too much with logic - but since when is love logical? Top-notch cast, a number of funny moments, and an amazingly positive atmosphere. An ideal film for a romantic evening for two. Overall impression: 100%. (29/05/2007)
