Steineded How sad is this?

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Lucy Bonette Firstly, I watched this film online, so I watched in two parts. I have no patience to watch films longer than 90 minutes in one go, regardless of the quality. I really like the film and the characters, there is not much story, but to me this is just about watching a group of friends interact. There may not be much background to how they act, but that is how things are with friends that you have known for years. Some have mentioned this was all a bit too French, with various clichés throughout. But having spent a summer with French friends in a similar house at the Bordeaux coast, I must say, this is just what it's really like in France. From clothing, to food to kissing everybody all the time. This is real people. Or at least in the social circle I was in.All in all, i really liked it. But maybe I was just being nostalgic.

zuzic Great movie!! It simply captures life and all there is about it. It teaches you about joy , friendship, sorrow,love,the duality of human nature and how ephemeral everything is. You can't take anything for granted, time won't wait for you. The world spins madly, when a life ends another one begins. The time you spend with the ones you love is priceless. All that you learn from a group of friends, who all have their differences and problems. They put themselves first because that's just who we are.. But in the end we all care about each other.We can't live alone, we constantly seek the presence of others.On top of that, the beauty of Bordeaux and good music make the film a great work of art.

abisio In Laurence Kasdan's Big Chill; a death (suicide) causes a group of friends to meet again after many years and reconnect with each other. That movie was about people loosing touch with many things in life in the coldness of this world.Canet's Little White Lies, is a twist on the original premise. One of a group (Parissian) friends has an accident; but as nobody really cares about the others; they continue their planned vacation leaving the guy at the hospital alone by himself.There is not a complete story about each one of them; just hints; but that is enough to realize the selfishness of this people. Also to mark the difference between city and rural people. In brief; it is a very good movie; a little long perhaps but worth seeing

acticom There are very few lies, as there isn't much sophistication in this disappointing art-house movie (I can't call this "film"). It shows the dismal level of intellect modern French filmmakers possess. The movie is about people talking and discussing things, yet the most complicated philosophical concept in this movie is that "objects feel it when we talk poorly about them". Other than that, it's such a standard fare, without *any* twist or turn: somebody finds out she's pregnant, one boy gets a girl, another boy loses a girl. Everybody cries. Period.No, not yet! There is the long funeral scene at the end of the movie, full of cheap sentimentalism. Friends are saying good bye to Ludo. There are lots of tears and statements on how important, helpful, selfless, etc. this guy supposedly was for each person in the group. We, the audience, have a very short chance in the opening sequence of the movie to meet Ludo. He's partying in a night club, apparently on drugs; we see him french-kissing friend's girlfriend whom he just met (the kiss is not entirely consensual, by the way); then he snatches up whiskey from friend's glass; then he drives off and is seriously injured in the traffic accident. That's about it. How are we supposed to believe that this guy was the centerpiece of this middle-aged middle-class group? No way, I say. The funeral scene is so awkward, it is definitely done Hollywood-style, but without the mastery of the Hollywood foot soldiers who produce these tear-jerkers.Then I have to mention that all songs in the movie are in English. This really takes away from the authenticity. One of the characters' little daughter can speak Spanish, and at one point in the movie mother catches her speaking too much Spanish to her liking, and instructs the daughter, in an abrupt (are we supposed to be alarmed?) manner, to speak French. All-English songs on top of this scene, and this made me wondering if the director is a neo-liberal freak on a political mission; Sarkozy's faithful soldier?Where the movie earns its stars, is Max's character. He's painted very realistically, and with a great sense of humor! Especially the moments when he tries too hard to organize the friends, for their own good, are hilarious and ringing so true! If only other characters were as much relevant and coherent...but they are not.In conclusion, this movie sets very low standard as to what European art-house film is. And while more and more films produced in Europe are as poorly made as this one, there are great films that pop up occasionally. Look for them! Elsewhere.
