Review of Happily Ever After

This was a film that I'm not entirely sure I knew anything about. It was the next up on Johnny Depp's feature filmography, which my wife, Jaime, and I are working through. I was intrigued to see this starring Charlotte Gainsbourg, an actor I'm familiar with thanks to Lars von Trier. Other than that, I came into this one blind.Now this is a dramedy. We have three male friends, Vincent (Yvan Attal), Georges (Alain Chabat) and Fred (Alain Cohen) who are all friends. Vincent is married to Gabrielle (Gainsbourg) and they have a son together. What is wild is that in real life they have a son, who plays this role in the movie. Georges is married to Nathalie (Emmanuelie Seigner) and they have a child. Fred is a bachelor who juggles multiple women.We follow this group as we see that Vincent is having an affair. Gabrielle has her suspicions. This leads to an odd meeting with Depp's character. It also empowers her to go on vacation with her son and push to move to the country. We then see that love and marriage isn't easy. It also isn't cut and dry either as we go along a look into the lives of these people.I'll then say that the acting here was good to bring everyone to life. It is interesting to see Gainsbourg in a role like this since it is different. I'm truly getting to see her range. I liked seeing Seigner here since I've seen her in a couple other things as well. No one is great. They do well in what is needed and it feels natural.Then I will end out by saying this was well-made. Coming in, both Jaime and I were concerned about a 100-minute French movie. It came in fast and it took us about the first 15 minutes to settle in. Once we did though, we were entranced to see how everything would play out. The print we watched could use touching up but I won't fault it either. There is a bit of surrealness, especially with the ending. I did like how it leaves it up to us to interpret what we see. Strategically it is the Gabrielle character there. This won't be for everyone. I don't think it is great, but an interesting piece of borderline arthouse film.My Rating: 7 out of 10.
