Movie review
From Time Out New York
In the grand French "love during summer vacation" tradition, Cote d'Azur piles on romantic entanglements, casually treating gay and straight ones with humor, warmth and an ultimately irritating sense of willful blindness. As a pot-smoking progressive mom, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi gives a sunny performance that dominates the film. But the codirectors' pastel-colored optimism catches up with them in the end: When the parents (Bruni Tedeschi and Melki) uncover rather surprising secrets about each other, they only react with benevolent shrugs. At this point, it's hard not to wonder if there's anything in the world these people would get angry about.Author: EV
