One depressing scene after another for what seemed like an endless two hours and change. Not a single character in the film had at least one redeeming quality.

France is a great movie. Léa Seydoux est magnifique.

one of the slowest worst movies Ive ever seen. if I could give it a zero, I would,,, 2.5 hours long? I quit watching 45 minutes in. Dont waste your time.

This movie is a total failure. The satire fails completely, the whole is a cringe-festival and way too pathetic, the only thing that was alright was Léa Seydoux.

If ever there were a film that embodies the notion of "Life sucks and then you die," this would be it. Writer-director Bruno Dumont's latest, a depressing cynical comedy-drama, takes the concept of weltschmerz to an entirely new level. That includes not only the content of the film's narrative, but also the agony that's inflicted upon audiences viewing this tediously slow, meandering, unfocused slog. Told from the perspective of an immensely popular French 온라인카지노추천 journalist who has everything that everyone supposedly wants -- fame, fortune, wealth, beauty -- the film follows her triumphs and tragedies, all of which leave her feeling eminently empty and depressed. Some of it is personal, some professional, and nearly always in matters of integrity, meaning and fulfillment, conditions that leave life affording us precious few joys. In some ways, the film could also be seen as a metaphor for the current state of society, most notably that of France (the nation) as reflected through France de Meurs (the protagonist). The foregoing may be all well and good in theory, but it's sorely lacking where the execution of this production is concerned. Dumont truly seems to be striving for something here, but it ends up feeling more like "reaching" in the end. This overlong, often-vague, frequently repetitive, generally lost cinematic exercise truly is one well worth skipping.

France is Bruno Dumont at his worst, making a unfocused satirical look at the breakdown of a news reporter by giving us vague parts of he destructive life. Seydoux is a strong actress, but there is barely anything to save here.

This film never went anywhere; maybe the point was that Seydoux's lovely visage was all there was to her character. And in the end, that's all I got out of the movie.

Disastrous acting and a weak plot that seems to go nowhere. If you thought Lea Seydoux was bad as a Bond girl wait to see this horror.

France deserves this.
