Living On Love Alone Review

Anaïs Demoustier confirms her star potential in her second film with Isabelle Czajka, but she’s powerless to prevent what starts as a brisk workplace satire from descending into melodrama. While her rebellious arts graduate is negotiating the realities of paying her dues on the bottom rung of a PR company and then a door-to-door sales outfit, this is a smart, often amusing insight into management exploitation and the younger generation’s disregard for convention. But, once she embarks upon a thrill-seeking trip to Spain with charming wastrel Pio Marmaï, the sassy authenticity of her demeaning office chores and seedy one-night stands is overtaken by incredible contrivance and cliché.
