This movie was really good. It was authentic, touching, and I finished it feeling awe-inspired. There's really nothing critical I can say about it. It really makes you grateful for what you have in life, and the people who support you.
That being said, the performances were amazing from the whole cast, especially Mathieu Amalric as Jean-Do. I'm sure getting into that mind-set must have been a challenge, but he plays it effortlessly.
The pacing was also really good. I like how we the audience see the world as John-Do. We do not know what he looks like for the first chunk of the film (as he has probably forgotten what he looks like also), and we're gradually introduced to his former life as the editor for Elle magazine. Shooting from his POV was incredible, especially the scene where his eye is being sewn up, so tragic.
Jean-Do had an amazing life before having a stroke, so it really shows how you need to enjoy every moment, because you don't know when it will be over.
I recommend this film to all.
