What do the first spectators think of this romantic fresco carried by Vincent Lacoste and Anaïs Demoustier? Overview of the first returns!
Released this Wednesday, November 29 in our theaters, has the feature film convinced its first spectators? While it obtains an average of 3.8 out of 5 from the press, and 3.6 out of 5 from the public, thanks to the 180 people* who have rated it to date (including 25 critics), here is a short summary of spectator opinions on Le Temps d’aimer.
Presented in Cannes in the Cannes Première section, Le Temps d’aimer is the new production by Katell Quillévéré (Suzanne, Repairing the Living, The World of Tomorrow…). This romantic fresco has already won an acting award for Vincent Lacoste, who reveals himself here in a very different light from his comic roles. Internet users particularly highlight the qualities of interpretation among the strong points of the film.
They liked
Paul D. (4.5/5): “Superb melodrama played wonderfully well by Anais Demoustier and Vincent Lacoste, very accurate and moving.”
Emilie007 (4.5/5): “I was able to see this film in preview, and I absolutely advise you to go. This 20-year fresco is absolutely magnificent and very mastered. I had a lot of emotions and in places that I didn’t expect, thanks to the very delicate accuracy of the staging and the subtle acting of Vincent Lacoste and Anais Demoustier. A great cinema film, which surprises with its modernity in the style and the very contemporary subjects addressed.“
Véronique Cocaign (5/5): “This sensitive film brings careful reflection on the psychology of characters branded by society. Katell Quillévéré accurately films the destiny of a woman, the complexity of motherhood, sexuality, and the couple. Questions of identity lead us to think about our current society. The actors are fabulous and it’s hard to leave these two characters.”

Melany T (3/5): “The story is gripping and the romantic fresco rather pretty but it is a shame that the interiority of the characters is not explored and that very important themes only serve as a pretext for the story.”
Korbô D (3/5): “A melodrama that is a little long and too wise. It’s still well interpreted by Demoustier and Lacoste but nothing transcendent. Some beautiful scenes, sometimes sensual, sometimes funny. But it’s too long, too soft and too “written”.“
Math719 (2/5): “Even if some moments are good, the whole thing is rather very slow, I was not moved or touched, we remain outside the film and the whole thing is rather disappointing. I found Vincent Lacoste a little outside the film and not very realistic. In the end we are really left wanting more as if we were telling a beautiful story but not very touching despite the feelings exposed. Damage !“
