Joan is no longer in love with Victor and suffers from ill feelings towards him. Alice, his best friend, reassures him: she herself does not feel passion for Eric, and yet their relationship is going great!

What does the press think?
According to Les Echos:
“The wonder of delicacy.” By Olivier de Bruyn – 4/5
According to Abus de Cine:
Rarely has Emmanuelle Moreau, whose observations on love and human relationships have become more and more accurate over time, been as relevant and funny as this “Troy Amis,” a three-fold portrait of women bound together by strong friendships that bear and tears of love can threaten.” by Olivier Bachelard – 4/5
According to Critikat.com:
“The production of the three friends takes away from Mouret’s ‘little music’ of Marie-Vaud, whose apparent incongruity hides a greater depth.” By Thomas Grignon – 4/5
According to Femme Actuelle:
“A beautiful moment, lively and light.” by the editors – 4/5
According to Le Journal du Dimanche:
“A trio of actors, as stunning as they are different, lend their delicacy and depth to this portrayal of love and its many interpretations.” By Barbara Teat – 4/5
According to Le Parisien:
“An elegant and very well-acted film that shows that in love we are rarely in sync, that feelings come and go and that everyone can make up their own rules of the game.” by Catherine Ball – 4/5
According to Le Figaro:
“A funny, delicate and very French film.” by Eric Neuhoff – 4/5
According to the Prime Minister:
“Emmanuel More bravely confronts the living, the ghost whose spectral presence here questions our relationship with the tangible. The three friends are meant to be a variation of the love discourse, where each man crosses swords with his own conscience. Fluid and fragile staging. Impresses with a lightning pace. By Thomas Baura – 4/5
According to Télé Loisirs:
“Supported by three talented actors, director Emmanuel More weaves the stories together in a recognizable style with a unique blend of depth and levity.” By Sebastien Ors – 4/5
According to Femina’s version:
“Joy, sadness and tenderness reflect these adventures, and we are delighted by Sarah Forestier, Camille Cotin and India Hair, who are so precise in their irony and restraint.” by Anna Michelet – 4/5
