It is a movie that could be entertaining, typical romantic comedy, that you know how it will end as soon as it starts. The problem is that I do not believe the casting mainly. I do not believe that that girl, who could be said to get the man she wants, ends up choosing who she chooses. I also think that at times it becomes very boring. The moments in which the actors start talking like crazy people who do not seem to breathe and then move on to a series of shots to show that time passes, becomes very boring. It is a romantic comedy and is lost in things that are not relevant. The actors are very well, it's true, but there's no spark in life, they do not hit, you do not believe what's going to happen. I do not like photography, it's clear French, there's no photography, it's white, it does not contribute anything, The address is simple. He has to tell a story and the account. Bored, it becomes heavy. The plans are simple, neither compose nor use it to narrate, simply let them flow.
They do not do this kind of comedies like they did years ago

The dalmatian dog hates anyone who gets near his female owner, and this becomes part of a very funny divorce case. There is also a big monkey. I like the true search for happiness. She wants more than to be an attorney.
Great performance from Virginie
I just watched Victoria on a pre-release exclusive showing, and I greatly enjoyed it. Virginie has a great talent for comedies, and romantic comedies, and this movie is no exception. However, Victoria a parallel, satiric, deeper layer beside the general comedy stream. However, it keeps it's promise to be a light movie for a weekend night to have fun. I enjoyed the occasional funny moments, too.
After the movie Virgine came on stage for a question and answer session. I learned that the movie has several elements of near-improvisation, as the actors had the liberty to live their roles fully and didn't had to go word by word by scripts, they had freedom to go further with interpretation when they felt to.
All in all, if you like French comedies, and you like Virginie Efira, you will enjoy Victoria a lot.
