I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This should be shown in high schools to teach girls why men cannot wait to get the hell out of the room as soon as the sex is over. The men in this film were obviously paid well to stay in the rooms. The women are by far the most vapid, tedious, self-absorbed, shallow and narrow as any in the history of civilization. Except perhaps the Kardashians. They all know how to tease and their only interest is sex. The little boys here foster that attitude by being even worse in some respects. There is absolutely not one sentence of engaging dialogue or a hint of any depth of perception. Nothing that is new or unique. The girls are attractive until they begin to speak, and then your arousal is crushed by the banality. Terrible film.

Talking to a family friend about my disappointing viewing of a 2012 Erotic Neo-Noir Thriller from Bollywood called Hate Story,I was surprised to hear from him,that he had in fact also just recently discovered a 2011 Erotic Drama from France called "Q".After originally thinking that he must have gotten another title for the film confused with Tim Blake Nelson's 2001 movie O,I began to look forward to hopefully seeing an Erotic film being done in the "correct way"The plot:Carrying round a box of her fathers ashes due to struggling to say goodbye to her dad,Ceclie tries to deal with the frustrations that she is by getting closer to her main friends Matt (a garage mechanic) and Alex (a car thief).Finding both of them to have no feelings at all in trying to help and solve the problems,Ceclie begins to let her frustrations by playing on the sexual frustrations of Alex and Matt,which leads to Matt trying to quench the frustrations of desire that Ceclie has brought up,with his girlfriend Alice,who has not yet taken the "next step" with Matt,due to having deep frustrations of allowing her desire to be free.View on the film:Staying just about on the right side of Erotic instead of sleaze,each of the relatively new cast members give brave performances as each of them make the non-simulated sex scenes ones which are focused on the inner frustrations of the characters,rather then the exterior titillation.Appearing in her first ever lead role,the beautiful Deborah Revy gives a strong,confident performance as Ceclie,with Revy making sure that Ceclie does not become a frustrating characters for the viewer by making sure that her attempts to winded other people up connects to the frustrations that Ceclie is trying to untangle.Using the ongoing Great Recession as a backdrop for the film,the excellent screenplay by writer/director Laurent Bouhnik shows the relationships between Ceclie,Alex,Matt and Alice to be ones that are fractured due to all of them wanting to see growth in their relationships,but being unable to deal with the frustrations that each of them brings out in the other.Along with the frustrations over their relationship,Bouhnik also brings a clever role reversal element into the film,with Cecilie being shown to be the most masculine character in the movie,from chatting with fellow patrons in a shell room about the qualities of a number of men "in bed",to knowing the exact buttons to press to increase Matt's frustrations,which leads to Bouhnik unleashing what initially appears to be a fracture ending,but slowly shows itself to be an untangling of the frustrations,and also loosely connected to the opening moments of the film.Shooting in sharp,sharp tracking shots and long,stilted takes,Bouhnik takes the Erotic scenes in a direction which temporarily reveals the hidden causes the characters are frustrated by,which turns the meaning of the "Q" into being a "Q"uestion of desires.

It's a good film for couples who want to see a woman friendly soft porn and have sex afterwards, but it is a mediocre film for others. The story is basic, how love and sex has no superficial input in our lives, and also predictable. Cinematography, the shots are nicely done and nicely colored, but nowhere really special. So it never really wowed me. I found myself looking at the running time several times to see when the movie would end. The beautiful girl cast and their actions kept me watching. After a while i was just waiting for the next sex scene to happen. And those scenes follow quickly on each other. Basically the film is just a concatenation of soft porn sex scenes with minimal story line in between. It seems to have a lot of unsimulated fellatio and masturbation thrown right in your face, but once the real sex starts to happen the camera stays at distance.Couples in love who would like to watch a woman friendly soft porn and want to have sex afterwards won't be disappointed. But for others, if the film wouldn't have the explicit sex content it would end up somewhere in the back of the shelves of the video store, fast and long forgotten.

Even though it is a French film, it's quite good. Beautiful scenery, quaint little French café's, beautiful countryside. HOWEVER, the movie takes a twist and turn and the explicit sex scenes are what we would see in a pornographic movie. They don't really add much to the context of the story but, for some, and especially the main character, will excite. I was mortified and shocked when I was given a ticket to preview a special screening, sitting their with my grandmother who lived in France for many years, I thought it would be nice for her to see France again. She saw a bit too much of France! I really don't know what to say about this film which has been branded 'Art', apart from : watch it, and make your own mind up. So ...um... yeah...(Normally my comments are more in-depth and detailed but I'm at a loss for words with this one.)
