I don't have much context for writing this review. I don't speak French or know any of the actors except Ethan Hawke. So maybe I am missing something, but this movie did nothing for me. The story seems to focus on the family matriarch, an elderly actress that I would describe as a battleaxe. For the most part she seemed snide, condescending, and bitter with no apparent concern for others. She wrote an autobiographical memoir but took great liberties with the facts, which explains the title of the movie. Most of the cast seem tired and unengaged. I like Ethan Hawke but he's mostly like a supporting character in this and just phoned most of it in, so to speak. There is a lot of dialogue but it's mostly just chatter - not really funny or inciteful. So not really seeing much to like here.
