On my way (2012)

Emmanuelle Bercot's On My Way is a lighthearted road movie, a sympathetic drama/comedy about family relations and reconciliation. It's not a masterpiece in any sense, but I found the film quite entertaining, even though it's not the kind of movie that will remain in your mind for long. Well, it seems fair to say that On My Way is a harmless film that has its good moments (if you can stand the clichés), most of which stem from Catherine Deneuve's sweet acting. Deneuve plays a restaurant owner who's had enough. She hits the road and of course she delves into several adventures. The denouement of the film plants itself in the middle of every expectation you may have about what a French movie should be like.
