A nice step forward for writer/director Yvan Attal after his earlier collaborations with his now wife Charlotte Gainsbourg ("Aux Yeux du Monde," "My Wife Is an Actress"), HAPPILY EVER AFTER tracks the up-and-down relationships of three male friends and their femmes (and neighbors). The movie ranges from funny to silly, sad, surprising, and then lifts off into the stratosphere--literally and figuratively--thanks to a cameo appearance from someone special (if you don't know who, just watch and enjoy).
Attal shows growth and even more promise with this new film; he offers a wider range of people, ideas, feelings and disappointments than in his "Wife/Actress," and Gainsbourg does her hubby proud. She's engaging and intelligent, dreamy and poised, angry as hell, and always somehow in command--even when she appears not to be. |
