Diane agreed,without a moment's hesitation,to bear a couple of gays ' child ;"I was not born to raise a child " she says ....But when she gives her new baby born, won't she feel any regret?
This is a good subject,a topical movie, with a great potential but the director and his actors thoroughly botched the job.
In my book ,Clotilde Hesme epitomizes the "feel good" French scene : self-assured to a fault, smug,self-satisfied ,this part of a happy-go-lucky woman was tailor made,so to speak, for her ;a few years back,she was the star of " L'Echappée Belle" ,in which she portrayed a heiress who adopted a child and who did not have to worry about making both ends meet ; here she is a flippant well-off girl who spends her time in nightclubs and has a pool built and one never sees her work ,is that all?
The same goes for the gay couple who travels all around the world or her lover who complains because she 's got an artificial insemination unbekownst to him (this problem is quickly skimmed over) .This quartet lives in a rosy world, or should I say ,have no social background at all.
It feels its quota of sex scenes , but the dialog is sometimes rude (the lines about the sexuality of certain animals) and the comic relief (the hypnosis therapy scene) is not funny at all ;add the worst childbirth ever filmed (Hesme ,is,depending on the person you ask , sublime or unbearable .....)
I suggest a woman director redo this important subject.
