TLDR
Audrey Tautou, I was not familiar with your game.
What it's about
Talented art student Angélique falls deeply in love and dangerously obsessed with Dr. Loïc Le Garrec, a handsome cardiologist who is, unfortunately for her, married.
The take
With plenty of old men having extramarital affairs, taking advantage of younger women and leaving them forlorn in love, it can feel deceptively easy to take sides in the first forty minutes of He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not. Who wouldn’t side with Angélique, especially with the innocent, childlike face of Audrey Tautou? And yet, when the twist occurs, the film fills the gaps in totally unexpected ways, gradually escalating to a terrible and sad conclusion about this seemingly romantic girl. It’s hard to further talk about He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not without getting into spoiler territory, so if this is the first time you’ve heard of the movie, go and watch it without any context.
What stands out
The plot twist.
