Original Title:

Bright Days Ahead

Fitfully amusing and poignant in its insights into ageing, this cross-generational fling saga lacks the character and depth to say anything genuinely significant. Glamorous yet vulnerable, Fanny Ardant beguiles, but Laurent Lafitte’s highly resistible as her self-serving beau.

A romance not nearly as seductive as its lead actress.
