Kevin L @Lakeman 1 day ago Really fine work by director/writer Courvoisier and co-writer Abadie. Wonderful story-telling that shows young people of real depth & complexity along w/ just the goofiness & charm of youth, while also dealing w/ very real & heavy life situations that could easily overwhelm. Loved the relationship between Totonne & his little sister. He wasn't just an 18 yr old totally put off by having to suddenly take care of her, miserable that she cramps his style & demands to much of his time. I also loved the pairing of Totone & Maire-Lise, w/ him robbing her out of necessity but also genuinely caring for her. The confession scene is one of the best; not the least because of what else his happening in the barn. Jinkees, Shaggy. Such fine acting here by the young folks. Felt like real authenticity in the awkwardness of Totone, his care for Claire, & the dedicated friendship of his mates. And yes, the meathead brothers were very meathead brothers. 3.7 stars See more

Leon H @RT13589101 Oct 8, 2026 Highly enjoyable French film about a young man's struggles to raise his much younger sister and alleviate their money worries after his father dies in an accident (NOT a spoiler - it happens early on). Our main character is initially hard to like but is well written and, like all of us, has flaws as well as likeable traits. The actor playing the younger sister has the face of a woman in her late twenties! Watched 7th Oct 2026 See more

Bob P @bobpotter50 Jun 5, 2026 Holy Cow this was dull. The characters were not well developed and the ending was out of nowhere. If you love reading subtitles knock yourself out, but I'm still confused by all the great reviews. See more

Bob L @RT76975801 May 10, 2026 I had a difficult time believing that the son of a dairy worker in a rural town almost entirely dedicated to niche cheese-making could be allowed to remain completely ignorant of the process, or that he'd ever physically put his obviously drunken dad behind the wheel of a car to drive himself home. Other than that, this quirky movie (one scene involves both cunnillingus and the delivery of a live baby cow) is a perfect setup for a Majic Mike style sequel (let's call it "Hard Cheese") where hot French guys can give strip shows and work glory holes to help Totone raise money for his cheesemaker certification.

Katherine C @RT15578709 Oct 10, 2025 Sensitively told, entertaining and amusing, and not formulaic first movie. Loved it! See more

Rob W @Mr_Inbetween Sep 5, 2025 Simple but beautifully told and acted. Even better if you love cheese 😁 See more
