As Valentine's Day approaches, what better way to explore the complexities of love and desire by attending this week's Film@BirrTheatre screening?
We travel to France where forty-something Iris seems to have everything – a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters and a successful dental practice. But after sixteen years of marriage, the passion has disappeared between her and her workaholic husband. Iris decides to take matters into her own hands and signs up to a dating app so that she can take a lover…
Reuniting with writer-director Caroline Vignal after 2020’s hit comedy My Donkey, My Lover and Me, the ever-versatile Laura Calamy (Call My Agent) shines as the frustrated wife and mother who seeks to reinstate some excitement into her romantic life. Vignal relates Iris’ journey of rediscovery and freedom with plenty of humour and without any judgement.
“★ ★ ★ ★ While there are moments of farce and a musical flight of fancy, Calamy’s charm ensures this souffle of a movie never completely collapses and that the audience never wavers in caring about her fate …” – Stuff.co.nz
“A feel-good delight! Calamy, unleashed, offers a very and funny engaging performance.”
