DIVORCE CLUB
Recommended. Exuberant and frivolous fun that will make you want to divorce and/or stay single forever. Arnaud Ducret in top form as the main protagonist. The movie feels like attending a party. Lots of music, mostly by perennial Kool & The Gang. Constant joie de vivre, facilitated by life on wonderfully shot splendid estates. Light-hearted caper never crossing the line of good taste. Dragging someone on the floor - usual in horrors - here creates a comic effect. Being attacked by an animal - a lemur in this case, hiding from someone, drugs, a spoilt kid and the most amusing: Ferrari ride are all well-known comedy tropes but they don't detract from entertainment in the slightest.
Reviewed from a screener with excellent sound but cinematic reception might always differ.
MANELYST I FLAKLYPA (LOUIS & LUCA - MISSION TO THE MOON)
Watchable. Models and dolls are not my animation style. As for the plot, a little bit of astronomy drowns in the flood of far-fetched details focused around an invention and social structure alike. The characters and most of the story are meant for children but with some winks to parents, e.g. an enterprise is a failure because Greece bankrolled it. Also, one of the main protagonists has paid a lot of VAT in alcohol - that's presented as if it was normal, I seriously doubt its pedagogic value.
