Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

writers_reign Noemie Lvovsky is a fully paid-up member of what is, for me, a very elite group who cannot be feted highly enough; French female directors, virtually all of whom - Danielle Thompson, Eleanore Faucher, Alexander Leclerc also write or co-write their own screenplays plus some - Nicole Garcia, Agnes Joui, Valerie Lemercier, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi - are actually triple threats inasmuch as they are happy to direct themselves acting in self- penned screenplays, whilst still others like Tony Marshall, Ann Fontaine, Marion Vernoux, have been and/or are still acting for other directors. I should perhaps add that all of the above are content to turn out 'mainstream' films leaving the 'intellectual' fodder to the likes of Marguerite Duras, Clair Denis and other poster girls of the Academic-Pseud axis. Camille Redouble marks the first time Lvovsky has directed herself in her own screenplay - though she has, of course, acted in screenplays she has co-written with Valeria Bruni Tedeschi - and it is a tour de force. There's nothing exactly new about Time Travel in film but Lvovsky employs it in a definite positive way so that whilst she is unable to change the past and prevent her mothers' untimely and unexpected heart attack she is able to say important things to her mother. A very worthy addition to the ranks of the triple-threat French female.

Chris L The first hour of the movie is pretty enjoyable, and even though the time travel theme has been over used, this melancholic story, to which anyone can relate to, is still touching.Unfortunately, the second hour is much less glorious. The script badly flounders and doesn't manage to find a much needed second wind. The situations are under exploited, the characters don't evolve, there are no stakes or consequences, and the plot's final outcome suggests that everything is fate-related: what is then the point of the movie if nothing could have been altered ?The disappointment is proportional to the high expectations caused by the raving critics.

123jiraisdanslesbois Cerise Noemie Lovsvsky has been around in French films and directed them for the last 18 years but she is discreet and has made her way slowly but surely. She is signing with Camille Rewinds a sweet bitter comedy that anyone can relate to. She tells a story of a 40 year old woman who needs to make amends, who needs to change her past somehow. New Year's Eve come and there she is brought back in her past. Her past is in the 80's and the director has paid extreme attention to details. You will recognize the beddings, the home accessories, kitchen details that come from the 80's and you will be transported yourself to that era. Camille needs to tell something to her mother and she does. The story is intertwined with comedy and tragic moments, you laugh and then you cry, it is a roller-coaster of emotions ! The director shows that love, death, passion roll together; she is sensitive to sight, scent, touch, taste (for the champagne) and hearing !! When you loved someone you loved their sight, scent, touch, voice, you feel all of that in the film. This film is a love letter to old acquaintances that should not be forgotten.

newtt11 Caught this film at the Sitges Film Festival, and wasn't sure what to expect. It sounded like a more serious version of 'Peggy Sue got Married' from the description, and I didn't really have any expectations for it, but I was kind of blown away a little.Although mostly a comedy, with light-hearted/comic situations as Camille returns to her teenage years, this film treated the conundrums/ paradoxes of time travel in quite a serious way at times and was actually quite thought provoking. And a tragic scenario involving Camille and her mother is set up incredibly well, so when it arrives it is just absolutely heartbreaking. Seriously, take tissues.The director/actress really gives a fantastic performance - convincing as both the bitter, washed up Camille in the future and a mix between this and the wide-eyed teenager she becomes in the past. She does a great job of juggling the comedy and dramatic moments, as both actress and director. I'm surprised never to have heard of her before, but I'm sure after this film she will receive more exposure. She also had a colourful,interesting visual style going on, not least in the extremely cool backwards slow-motion opening credits.
