Henry D @Henry_Domke Sep 9, 2026 Perfect, funny and relaxed. The ambient sound is wonderful, and there is almost no dialogue. It really does feel like a visit to the beach. The movie is packed with endlessly creative visual gags, mostly physical humor that needs no words, just perfect timing and an unlikely mishap. A simple, cheerful tune plays through much of the film and fits the whole mood perfectly. See more Joe G @RT11890750 Aug 17, 2026 Strained and overrated. Some very funny bits mostly not directly involving Hulot, and mostly by the restaurateur. I say bits and not scenes, because I see this as just a series of visual gags strung together...and mostly poor ones at that. The character Hulot plays himself consistently but it is a sorry self to be playing, with little hope of getting any funnier as the film progresses. I stopped and restarted and stopped watching, finally giving up 3/4 of the way through. With no discernible plot, I don't think I missed anything that would have changed my opinion.

The 2014 Criterion version looks and sounds great. See more JP K @JPKnLA Jun 5, 2025 It sails over the heads of young generations, and is justifiably semi-deified by film historians. The meticulous timing & staging reveal one of the true auteurs in cinema, who would find full flowering in one of cinema's greatest achievements, his "Playtime," which takes his formal approach to dizzying heights. "Holiday" is the antecedent, not only in time, but in familial, formal rigor.
