not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 11; from 10, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 12-14, this is the age when you see the lie before the person it hurts, then the person before the joke. The film stops being a comedy of errors and becomes a question about what we allow ourselves to make others believe, and it is a good one to take to the dinner table. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 11.

What it's about

Jocelyn is a selfish and misogynist businessman. He tries to seduce a young pretty woman by pretending to be handicapped, till the day he meets her sister, who is also in a wheelchair.

Why 11

Our readingNot rated in the US. We say 11: The lie about disability is understood late. The whole film rests on a man faking a wheelchair to seduce a woman, and you need to have grasped that the joke wounds someone real in order to laugh in the right place. There is also a frank conversation about sexuality after an accident, named without euphemism.
reading
A lie that hurts someone realThe whole comedy rests on a man pretending to use a wheelchair to charm a woman. Younger viewers may laugh along without grasping that the joke lands on people who are not pretending, and that the pretense keeps growing until it has real victims. Around eleven, a child can hold both the humor and the discomfort at once.
Frequent salty languageSixteen coarse words across the film, plus a couple of cutting remarks between characters. Nothing shocking for a preteen, but it is the everyday adult vocabulary of a slick businessman who is not trying to be polite.
Grown-up talk about bodiesSeveral jokes and remarks about breasts and desire, a number of kisses, and a frank conversation about sexuality and intimacy after an accident. It is spoken plainly rather than shown, and it is handled with respect, but it assumes a listener old enough to hear it without embarrassment.
Wine and cigarettes everywhereGlasses and bottles of wine turn up constantly, drinking is part of the social decor, and one character smokes often on screen. None of it is questioned by the film.
Comedy, not real violenceA few loud bangs, a brief fire, a gun or a knife held in someone's hand, and some deaths mentioned in conversation. These belong to comic set pieces or to dialogue, not to frightening scenes. A handful of dim nighttime sequences and moments of tears round it out.

What the movie brings

It asks what it really costs to lie about who you are in order to be loved.
It shows a disabled character with her own humor, desire and temper, not as an object of pity.
It turns a selfish man's education into something a family can laugh at and argue about.

Watching it together

Before

Before pressing play, you might say that the main character is doing something dishonest on purpose, and that the film knows it is dishonest.

After

at 11 and up

Why do you think he kept the lie going, even once he realized who it was hurting?
