Synopsis: A British couple return to Paris many years after their honeymoon ther.
Review: The couple is quite old but the story could have been identical with much younger. It is indeed a kind of midlife crisis that they are living. He wants sex and contact, she does not. Slowly it becomes clear (ALMOST SPOILER) that both are still enloved but do not live their love as they would like to.  The acting of both is very authentic, even if the dinner scene seems very artificial. But its goal is to bring specific dialogues between both. This way Jeff Goldblum is purely artificial because he is just a tool of the scenario to support the couple. Several scenes are really good for their picture building and the lot of saying without talking thanks to both Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan. Having these two great actors, the story could have been slightly different to benefit the most of them.
Rating: 5 /10
