Very playful and witty direction. Great original story. Despite all the humour it is still quite touching and endearing at many moments as well. And it has got great editing, photography and soundtrack, for those who like those finer technical details. I DO!
The French are really good at making comedies with a heart, with believable characters, whom one can sympathize with. And however bizarre this story might sound at first, it is still credible. Comedies often get underrated, but it takes lots and lots of talent to write and direct a real good comedy.
There are terrific acting performances by all actors involved, but of course the prize for best acting goes to renowned actress Sandrine Kimberlain. She is masterful. Such a lovely actress, who can act seriously and still be hilarious.
The story: a conservative judge, whose record is impeccable, accidentally gets pregnant by a serial killer. The plot of this movie is to die for! When I started watching it at first I could NOT believe this story could ever be remotely credible. But it is, in a comical way of course. The stories' twists and turns kept surprising me from the very beginning to the end!
French comedy gem! Brilliant (subtle) direction. Witty. And touching. What more could I wish for! I feel good!
