Three Friends: Is Camille Cotin’s Movie Any Good? Viewers have their say

The games of love and chance are a favorite subject of Emmanuel Moretti, who has been a specialist in the study of feelings in cinema since its beginnings.

After excelling in a register of off-beat comedy (Change of Address, Kiss Please…), he took a more serious edge to his work without losing the taste for mischief that brought us the very beautiful Things We Say, Things. We make and chronicle the past work.

Two films now followed by Three Friends. which tells the sentimental (mis)adventures of Joan, Alice and Rebecca, who go from one riot to another on the streets of Lyon.

But what did audiences think of this tender feature film, which brings together Camille Cotin, Indian Hair, Sarah Forestier, Vincent McCain and Grégoire Ludig?

With an average rating of 3.6* out of 5 from 33 ratings, Three Friends starts at the same level as The Things We Say, The Things We Do, but slightly below The Chronicle of Time (3.7) and Mademoiselle de Joncquières (3.9).

However, it remains average among Emmanuel Moretti’s films from 2018, and which seem to appeal more to the public, with its best score so far being 3.2 (Promenez-toi tout nue!).

As for Camille Cotin, it’s simply the best of her five films released in 2024, just ahead of either Chains or The Masters (3.5 out of 5).

What do viewers think of “Three Friends”?

“I really appreciate the cinema of Emmanuel Moretti and I was very happy to see this film”said Misa (5 out of 5), suggesting that fans of the filmmaker’s work will win. “I appreciate the simplicity and clarity of the dialogues that explain the characters’ thoughts and romantic journeys. This movie makes me think. Romer on dialogues for this work”.

Emil Louis (same note) speaks the movie “coming of age” and A “Wonderful in every way, with Indian hair as glamorous as ever”predicts several Caesars in total. and Frono (4 of 5) just sums it up: “Emmanuel Moreau equal to himself, that is, excellent.” “Trying to answer the eternal, forever unresolved question of the definition of love, Emmanuelle More offers us a very beautiful choral film that moves us from drama to comedy, from tears to laughter.”in turn confirms Olivier G. (4 out of 5).

Who praises the casting, India’s hair takes the lead. as Corrick Bernard (4 of 5) which causes “Flawless actors and actresses” or Sophie Salamani (4.5 out of 5): “The actors tell us with their responsive precision, holding themselves back in a performance full of delicacy.”

“Emmanuel More equal to himself, i.e. excellent”

“Emmanuel Moretti’s cinema makes or breaks with me”will begin Nicholas-773 (3.5 out of 5) before showing that Three Friends isn’t just for its fans. “And this time it goes well, with a wonderful cast, especially the incredible Vincent McCain.”

on the contrary Bart Sampson (3 out of 5) expresses his disappointment: “I have to say that I was a little disappointed after the enchantment of the chronicle of the last case (…) the stories are a bit on the level of Marywood and it is difficult to have the depth or seriousness of the previous film. And it goes in the same direction as Sylvain P (2 out of 5).

“We knew Emmanuelle Mouret better. Three friends talk about separation and their guilt. If the love intrigues of three friends immediately captivate, unfortunately, everything runs out of steam to end up politely boring. It should be. Said that men compared to Sarah Forestier and Camille Cotin They are weak.

“Unfortunately, everything runs out mid-race and ends up being politely boring”

“If I looked at the name of the real estate company, I wouldn’t go there”writing I stopped (2 out of 5), which activates the debate “Do you have to like the director to appreciate his new film?” “A very tongue-in-cheek tone, diction always about love and deception, delivered by new actors (who are good) and Vincent McCain, who is still not my boy.”

“Really poorly done movie, the ending leaves us a bit unsatisfied, I saw it in advance and was very disappointed”said at last Clemens BlondellWhich gives it a rating of 0.5 out of 5.

in short

Do you have to be an Emmanuelle Mouret moviegoer to like Three Friends? Yes. No. Maybe. Internet users are as indecisive as movie characters about their feelings, but assume that nothing is set in stone and it will depend on each individual’s sensibilities.

As is often the case, strong points include the staging, the way it talks about love, and the casting (especially India Hair in this case). Although writing and diction always leaves some people.

and you What did you think of the three friends?
