Badly filmed slow-burner leaves too much on the table.

This is not a good movie. It's a nice enough story though. But the script could have used some tweaking. It's as if they had a few scenes in mind and then just worked around those. It has a few good scenes (the one with the confrontation in the cafe comes to mind) but that's not enough to keep this thing afloat.The actors are all on top of their game. Especially, the young semi tennis pro that plays Julie. She really does her best with the material she's given. But that is also not enough. There are just too many questions left unanswered: What actually happened between Julie and Jeremy?Why does she keep quiet? One minute she has a problem with the new trainer, the next she will only be trained by him (I mean, What the actual F..?) So, story wise, this is just a big FAIL!But here comes my biggest problem with this movie. This director just doesn't know how to shoot a film!! The framing is just of and wrong. Lighting is non existing. There were shadows everywhere. In one scene you can only make out two silhouettes talking to each other. He never cuts in a scene between different subjects. It's as if, they only had one camera available. Now maybe (and I'm just guessing here), he thinks this brings peace and calm to his movie. But to me, it was just annoying as hell. And if you do decide to not have any cuts in your movie, then make sure to stay in a master shot and let us (the audience) glance and look where we want/need to. No, this director decides for himself, we don't need this information. So, in a lot of scenes, we see people talking to other people whose head is (half) cut of or you just can make out half of their faces. What are they teaching in film school nowadays??!!Also, was this movie shot on an Iphone??!! When I saw that Nicolas Karakatsanis was DOP on this, my mouth fell to the ground! He really phoned (pun intended) this one in. Sometimes, it was just unwatchable.For me, all of this comes down to one of 2 things: Either this director doesn't master the basis of film making, or he just doesn't care.Maybe he just wants to tell his stories. And that's fine. But film is a visual medium. And it just was mishandled here. And I, as a paying customer, want more.

Rapid fire change of scenes can't hide thin plot

I'm on to these types of indie films which have a rapid fire sequence of mundane scenes. The director is simply trying to hide the fact that the plot is razor thin, and that is his attempt as well to keep the audience's attention.This, Unfortunately, is a classic example of that.That said, this was an okay watch.

A touching and important movie

Watched this well-acted drama from Belgium. An incredibly touching and important subject. I don't want to reveal the plot for those who want to see the film. All the actors in the film did well and it almost felt like a documentary. Besides the fact that they spoke French, it was fun to hear Flemish, which is a language you don't hear very often. I think it's a film that should get more attention and more people should see it. I hope the film finds a larger audience.
