Those aren't real people -they're caricatures in service of a simplistic message. Every exchange feels forced, every intention of the filmmakers is made blatantly obvious and the rip-offs from superior films like "American Beauty" are eye-popping. The film's greatest asset is a committed performance from Balasko who actually manages to turn her one-note character into a relatable individual. That's why her story-arc is certainly watchable, unlike the one of the precocious and overbearing Paloma.
