A little movie about a bunch of young people involved into robberies. The story is nicely done but the cast insn't entirely convincing.... can do better.

Kind of pointless. Just drifted around pretentiously with nothing profound to say. Which describes most French films I guess, except in this one nobody randomly commits suicide at the end. Only positive thing about the movie is Isild Le Besco, though her acting is poor...

(***): [img]http://images.chrc4work.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] Interesting and well-acted.

Oppressively French. Old-school French. Boring comatose French.

It's sad when young adults make terrible mistakes for romantic reasons that changes their lives. As a 19-year-old woman, Isild Le Besco actually looks older and is not quite the gorgeous "knockout" to get viewers glued to the screen. I kept on seeing a young Sissy Spacek as ideal in this role. Also, Ouassini Embarek as the criminal "Romeo" is too bland--you don't really care if he gets caught. The supporting characters in the background are much more interesting. I loved the travelogue scenes in Morocco and Athens. Although they really don't lend to the theme of a teenager growing up since the same realizations could be found in Paris. The black-and-white photography is exquisite and makes me nostagic for some of those 50s melodramas.

Starts out and mostly finishes as a typical French disaffectation piece - a bored young woman with a well-off family runs away to find herself - but creates an interesting subversion by making her self-discovery really suck. Running away with her fugitive boyfriend initially seems like it'll be a grand adventure, but things go very quickly sour and the experience presents very few positive aspects for our poor nameless heroine. The narrative is pretty interesting, but its delivery feels stilted and ineffective. There's only so many times characters can refuse to introduce themselves or pause for half-minutes at a time before you realize the movie is mostly hot air. Things in Right Now feel organic in that "life imitates art" way, and the little glimpses we get at the main character before her escape indicate that she's a dissatisfied romantic who WOULD follow some sparkly bit of false hope out of a safe existence; unfortunately, the careful crafting of the situation is betrayed by the movie's peculiar interactions. Isild Le Besco is a different leading lady, peculiar-looking and not super expressive. I constantly felt that she wasn't quite right as I watched the movie, and perhaps it was the movie's intention that it never really let me into how she was feeling or what she was thinking, but I would have preferred a slightly less obtuse actress. Her lack of emotional signposting makes some of the sexual scenes especially bizarre. Pretty interesting, well worth the time, but you're better off watching Breathless.

٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶♥Lovely when film is Art

this movie reminds me of my self- discovery journey and i wonder this process is beautiful and not everyone's cup of tea... i loved this movie.

trust the French to slap you about the head with reality.

So, I guess the best part of this film for me, was the feeling of traveling, which I enjoy. Very stylish, but not a whole lot of substance. The lead female had a weird quality to me, in that I was not attracted to her, yet she grew on me. Thats why the xtra half star.

Unrequited love, the one story everyone can relate to.

L'histoire est tiree d'une histoire vraie, quand on sait cela, on porte forcement un regard different sur la destinee de l'heroine. Les images sceniques sont belles et le choix du noir et blanc est intelligent. Aurai-je maintenant envie de lire le livre?

Ahhh, solid frenchness. Can't beat it.

Very French. Great HD photography, but how is it that every French movie is about a nubile girl discovering herself by having threesomes? not that I'm complaining....

shout out to the french face :)

Boring? Yes. Cliched? Yes. But it is a well-made, boring, cliche-film about an "innocent" French college student led to a life of crime (and boring sex) by her Moroccan boyfriend. Nice music, though.

glad its made in black and white, the grainy footages not only make homage to the new wave, but also give excuses not pacing up for a thriller. i quite like lily's character but i just couldnt stand le besco playing her, she reminds me of scarlet johansson, so ambiguous so not convincing.
