Why do we need another bourgeois french family drama shot in naturalistic style. It's like a parody of 
a boring French film, not much interesting happens, the characters are the usual well off frenchies, 
and there is no drama. It's all a big peugeot commercial with middle-aged people driving round and 
having the odd conversation about stuff (literally). It is the Franko equivalent of an empty hollywood 
blockbuster. Stop churning these films out, they say nothing and entertain no-one.
