From the Land of the Moon (15)

Drama, Romance

In 1950s France, Gabrielle is a passionate, free-spirited woman who is in a loveless marriage and falls for another man when she is sent away to the Alps to treat her kidney stones. Gabrielle yearns to free herself and run away with André.

The critical consensus

Even Marion Cotillard can't enliven this tiresome French melodrama from Nicole Garcia.

Sincere performances and beautiful photography save the film from descending into cheap romantic fiction and eventually you discover there is more going on than first meets the eye.

The final twist ramps up the feverish silliness of a story that is already unintentionally daft.
