The Roommates Party
Directed by Alexandra Leclère1h 42m2015
An unusually cold winter forces the french government to push the best housed people to accommodate some poor fellow citizens. The decree called "Le Grand Partage" creates some trouble among the residents of a Paris upscale apartment block.
Our read: The Roommates Party (2015) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Warm, kinetic, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
