The red and the blecchh

L'homme qu'on aimait trop (In the name of my daughter)

Crit

Until late in this film, I found it an annoyingly tedious account of unpleasant people behaving stupidly, with one lead--Adèle Haenel as Agnès, daughter of Catherine Deneuve's casino boss Renée Le Roux--giving one of the worst French acting performances since Marshal Pétain's. Then 28 years passed and everyone but Haenel and Deneuve got unconvincing age makeup, and a bad film turned utterly idiotic.

I might not have gone had it cost me any money, but it did cost me 2 valuable hours from my ever-dwindling supply.
