ELLES World Cinema

“When you’re my age, I’ll be
70,” ruefully notes a literature
professor (Miou-Miou) to her student
lover. But her friends have problems
of their own. Five women, all edging
the wrong side of 40, face life’s ups
and downs together. Their only
imperative: live, love and live some
more. This romantic comedy is a
delicious and pointed look at love in
the middle years, and with its stellar
international cast of intelligent and
vivacious women, it is a joy to watch.
