US Edition‘Leave One Day’ Review: Amélie Bonnin’s Debut Is A Stealth Charmer
- Amélie Bonnin’s debut film, Leave One Day, features Juliette Armanet as Cécile and premiered recently at a major international festival.
- The film emerged from a local, low-key setting and tells a modest character study amid Cécile's life changes, including a pregnancy and family health crises.
- Cécile, a foodie star preparing to open a restaurant, reconnects with an old flame Raphaël as they navigate an awkward homecoming and a complicated love triangle.
- Despite using familiar cliches, the film captures passing time and optimism, with its emotional strength rooted in accepting loss rather than nostalgia, described as 'We live in a time warp.'
- Leave One Day’s placement at the festival highlights its cultural resonance for French audiences and its subtle appeal, though it may confuse international viewers seeking more conventional fare.
