Post Re: Les bien-aimés [The Beloved]
I loved Christophe Honoré's previous musical effort "Love Songs" so I was really looking forward to "Beloved." It's definitely not as great and to be honest I found it a bit silly at times, but it's still actually pretty enjoyable. I do feel it would have worked better if it weren't a musical. I didn't find a lot of the songs to be all that fitting. But the cast definitely makes it work. I liked Chiara Mastroianni a lot as Vera, and Paul Schneider is ridiculously charming.

Despite its flaws, "Beloved" is a solid offering.

7/10 ( B )
