MPAA RATING:

Frédéric, his wife Frédérique, and their entire clan are spending another summer in their family house deep in the verdant Provençale countryside. A solitary gay man, Hugo, has moved in next door. After a convivial dinner, Frédéric and Hugo stay up on the terrace until dawn, exchanging their radically different visions of love. Entirely unaware of their exchange, Frédérique nonetheless notices a distance opening up between her and her husband, and a powerful bond developing between Frédéric and Hugo--a bond that grows stronger daily.

Daivd G. gave it an8:
I was certainly drawn to the father issues, interpersonal issues and sexual tension explored by this film. The photography was beautiful. I could watch it again.
Jonathan M. gave it a9:
This movie caught me off guard. Reviews had made me curious, but not excited. Possibly because of diminished expectations, I found it to be one of the most moving (and exciting) films I have seen in some time. It is also one of the most beautiful. My first reaction when it ended was that it was an excellent example of "sadder but wiser." On reflection, I think I would amend that to "sadder and wiser." I don't quite understand the critical antipathy. Like much of Kubrick, it will be reevaluated over time.
Jared M. gave it a7:
A bit self-conscious and perhaps pretentious, but insightful and, at times, heartbreakingly beautiful meditation on fear, regret and desire.
