UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

paid in full Until the very end, this movie kept me on my toes. Michel Blanc's style here was fast paced, which makes it easy to watch.Indeed, since it is somewhat of a romance movie you would think that men might not be interested but the suspense makes you hold your breath. Every scene could turn good or bad until the very end.Daniel Auteuil is great and his supporting cast just as good.The reason for me not rating it higher is because I wish I had learned more about the gigolo lifestyle through this movie...to add another layer would make this movie worth seeing multiple times. Don't get me wrong, I may watch it again...but i dont feel the need to.Nevertheless, a good movie.

The Couchpotatoes I wasn't really impressed by Mauvaise Passe. I thought the movie was predictable and boring. Really nothing special to be thrilled about. The story is what it is, a bit hard to believe, that's for sure. I mean what would a French speaking person search in London where 99,9% of the population can't speak a word of French? And him, he finds immediately a new job, plus another job as gigolo while he is middle aged, isn't that of a great looking guy and he doesn't speak English himself. It's all too far teched for me. I'm not going to debate about the rest of the story, let's just say that all the stereotypes about gigolo's passes the revue. It's just an average movie.

med_1978 I watched this film for the second time recently having seen it a couple of years ago. It is interesting if a bit dark and depressing at times. It is the story of Pierre (Daniel Autiel) a middle aged man who feels that after 20 years of marriage his life does not amount to much and he wants more excitement and a change. He decides to stay in London and start writing a book, one evening he is conned and assaulted and by chance meets Tom (Stuart Townsend) an Irish guy who works in a café by day and as a Male escort by night. He helps out Pierre and introduces him to his world which at first seems exciting, he gets a new apartment in the Docklands, a girlfriend who although she starts out in a similar line of work, wants to change for Pierre. At this point his life takes a downward spiral as he tries to get more and more work to pay for his more expensive life and gets into drugs to help him keep going for his clients and girlfriend. Pierre eventually becomes as his friend puts it "a real arsehole" and falls out with his friend Tom, he then resorts to promising a client that he loves her, but she should still pay as he is in need. In reality he has no feelings for her and just wants the money, which later leads to an encounter with her Husband. He is later informed that his Father is ill and has to rush back to France while there he discovers that estranged wife now knows of his new line of work. After some serious thought, He decides to write a book and many months later drops by his old friend Tom's café to show him the book.This is a very well made film and quite realistically done. Personally after seeing it twice I would not watch it again but this is just my taste in films. I feel that you should give this film a chance and watch it, as it is a worthy drama and has a message if you look closely.

reynatt Intrigued is what I felt when I bought my ticket, surprised is what I felt when the movie started, but what exactly is what I felt when I left the theater ? I still don't know, but it felt good.Michel Blanc is more used to making funny movies (either as an actor or as a director), and is very good at that. But here, that's a totally different kind of movie. Here he goes deeper into human relationships by trying to understand what happens when a human being freaks out.The story of Pierre, leaving his whole life behind to flee to London, escaping something (but what, really ?) is just what could happen to the guy next door, or even to you. And therefore, you see the movie with a totally different perspective, getting in the stead of this guy, seeing and understanding what happens to him, and saying to yourself "gosh, this could be me".Pierre's freaking out and all that happens thereafter, is so very understandable that it makes the movie reach you to your deepest core. You take the character in sympathy, feel like he's someone you know. And when he trips, you trip along with him.In the end, I spent a very good time watching this movie though I just didn't really know what to expect (my girlfriend took me to seeing it). This movie leaves you with a sensation inside, but what kind of sensation, I'm unable to describe... But it was NOT the sensation of having lost my time.
