The strongest arc of the film is given to Paul’s wife, played by Mirela Oprisor (Mimi Branescu’s real life wife). For the first half of the film, she is portrayed as pretty boring and almost drab in the way she’s settled into life as a mom, however, once Paul tells her about his girlfriend, she proceeds to light up and dominate the screen for the rest of the film. Muntean maintains balance between the characters here so well. The big knock on her would be that she took any kind of sexiness or excitement out of their relationship, and Paul craved it. Once she hears this news though, she’s very empowered and damn sexy.

I'm not sure where I was with my Cannes predictions (50 percent sounds about right), but I'm most glad about the predix that pan out on actual titles that I look forward in seeing - e.g. Lodge Kerrigan's French-produced next feature. I also got my predictions right on Radu Muntean's Tuesday, After Christmas and I had reported on David Verbeek's showing up in Cannes with R U There.
