'French Lover': A French star unexpectedly falls for his neighbor in this romantic comedy on Netflix.
Omar Sy has been one of the most famous French actors for years and gained international fame with the film Intouchables. He is also seen in the successful Netflix series Lupin. His latest film, also for Netflix, is now at the top of the Netflix Top 10s worldwide.
French Lover is a film directed by Lisa-Nina Rives. Netflix describes the film with words like "Sincere, Eccentric" and "Comedy". The main roles are played by Sy, Sara Giraudeau, and Pascale Arbillot.
There is currently no score available on the Tomatometer for French Lover, although there is one 'rotten' review from the New York Times. On IMDb, the film scores a 5.9 based on over 700 votes.
"The question is who the film offends the most: the lead actors, the audience, or you, the viewer, for whom so little is requested," says Ben Kenigsberg of the New York Times. He describes the film as a (poor) clone of Notting Hill.
Anyone wanting to watch French Lover can find the film now on Netflix.
The synopsis: Abel Camara is a major star admired by everyone. When his neighbor Marion does him a favor one day, he didn’t expect to fall for her charm. What follows is the beginning of an unexpected love story.
