    It's pretty good

    While there is a certain degree of predictability, the movie is quite enjoyable and entertaining. Karin Viard is indisputably a fantastic actress who can make anything shine - she is great here. The film deals with emotional and mental instability caused by the main character's premenopausal condition. She is jealous and resentful of anything good that happens in lives of her family members, co-workers and friends, and she sabotages the happiness of all of them and consequently alienating them . I do not know many films, if any, that deal with this rather heavy subject matter that is quite real but in such a delightful and light way. There is just the right amount of comedy and drama to make you want to know how the main character gets out of the mess she made.

    I'm not jealous about this movie

    Jealousy and bitterness could have been a great topic but the topic does not make a great movie alone. Unfortunately, I did not feel involved in the future of the characters.

    John Coltrane sounds more real on vinyl

    It's a French movie. But not too French. You don't have to be Parisian, and know everything about existentialism and postmodernism in order to understand it. That's good - I only got up to Freud (yes, he comes into the story), and then my brain put out a sign: "Carpark Full." And the English language subtitles are nearly always legible. That's even better.

    Being middle-aged ought to be cool. You've passed the exams and got through the job interviews, and now you're a well respected "professeur." Unlike a certain country that shall not be named, France doesn't leave many of its brightest teachers in a rat-race, a dissertation-publishing madhouse, in desperate search of tenure at a good college. Nathalie can afford to be elegant, urbane.

    The problem with being middle-aged is that there are people who are younger. Younger people might attract your spouse, and they can look like they're smarter at work, more connected, more relevant. And your own daughter is a younger person, and her sexuality will be fresh and exciting. Nathalie can survive the divorce - it's in the French DNA to be able to handle divorce. And good news, she has a date. And the guy takes a quick glance at the daughter. It was only a couple of seconds, I was watching. But that's it! He's out! And mother yells at daughter. For "flaunting herself"?

    They have psychiatrists who specialize in mother-daughter relationships? Does this have anything to do with the transition into menopause? And do you want to know what happens next? Because the film does spell out what happens. And that's good. French title: "Jalouse."

    NOT JEALOUS BUT I AM AFRAID....

    A meh movie where a middle aged woman goes nuts, is extremely bitter, acerbic and pretty much evil, then miraculously becomes normal again. In a nutshell. Not much else to it. 🙄

    Good Viewing

    I enjoyed this movie and do not think the low mark reviewers u derstood the meaning or point of it.

    It's about a woman struggling with her own insecurities and facing menopause. Jealousy is the result.

    I would definitely recommend. Karin Viard always worth a watch.
