I find surreal comedy one of the most challenging subgenres to appreciate. In my experience, the humor must be pitch-perfect in order for me to actually laugh throughout the runtime of a purposefully absurd film. In addition to this, I need to feel some sort of connection with the protagonist(s). Otherwise, I’ll struggle to truly enjoy the fun inside all the chaos. I’ve never seen a movie by Azazel Jacobs (The Lovers, Terri), who brings the same screenwriter of the latter film, Patrick deWitt.

Michelle Pfeiffer delivers a phenomenal performance, showing tremendous emotional range and an acting experience that allows her to seamlessly navigate any script thrown at her. Ultimately, Pfeiffer proves that she still has what it takes to lead the biggest movies of each year. Unfortunately, I found French Exit an incredibly tough film to enjoy. From the remaining disappointing performances – Lucas Hedges is frustratingly annoying in this role – to the lack of interest in the overall narrative, it’s one of those movies that either the viewers connect with immediately, or it’s not going to be an easy watch.

Surreal comedy implies a nonsensical screenplay, which might trigger some people to dislike it from the get-go. It’s an extremely specific type of humor that doesn’t usually reach big groups of people. Azazel Jacobs brings Patrick deWitt’s screenplay to the screen with remarkable commitment, but in the end, it’s a slow, stretched-out film with not that many laughs to offer.

Rating: C-

I really can’t do justice to just how thoroughly entertaining a film ‘French Exit’ is. It had me roaring and cackling with laughter, totally enchanted by its irreverence and good humour. You feel as if you’re watching a great piece of classic theatre, where silly rich white people bumble around in fancy rooms, unaware that they’re revealing, with their silly irrelevant lives, just how strange and beautiful life and love and sadness and happiness can be. Michelle Pfeiffer’s tremendous central performance, full of camp and acid and sadness, would be enough of a reason to see ‘French Exit’, but it’s all the more rewarding for how complete an experience it is. The ridiculous and the surreal are employed for the purpose for which they are always at their best – to make us laugh at how silly life can be, and sigh at the truth that, no matter what, we want to keep living regardless.

French Exit
Michelle Pfeiffer plays an eccentric and rather lost socialite whose money has run out, so she sells everything she has and moves, with her withdrawn son to Paris, ostensibly to die before her money, which she continues to spend apace, runs out.

There is a lot going on in this quirky, surreal dark comedy / drama – including an underlying mystery regarding the death of Pfeiffer’s husband and his spirit’s possible occupation of their cat and her son’s on / off relationship with Imogen Poots. At the centre of all this and in large part the main reason for watching this is Pfeiffer giving a superb performance as the saddened but brutally effervescent Frances. There do seems to be things missing here and not all the supporting characters have sufficient heft but overall this is great pleasure with some deft comedy certainly some weird stuff and in the end great sweetness.

Maybe Cinema Is Dead
Ugh, if I have to sit through one more dreary movie. Maybe cinema IS dead after all.

It’s like the writer and director of “French Exit” went about making their own respective movies without consulting each other at all. The writer thought he was making a zany dark comedy in the “Harold and Maude” vein, while the director slaps the comedy down at every turn and opts instead for a morose, joyless, and droning movie that doesn’t even have the courtesy to make sense.

This is another in the long line of movies that gives us a character some other character wants to not be in love with but can’t help being in love with, to the point that she flies all the way to Paris to reclaim him, despite the fact that the person she’s in love with is lacking a single quality that would make anyone love him in the first place. Michelle Pfeiffer gives glimmers of a feisty performance, but she’s undermined by the material, and her character doesn’t have any arc. The film brings together a random assortment of characters who all inexplicably sleep over nightly at Pfeiffer’s apartment, despite the fact that they all are adults and have homes of their own. I’m sure we’re supposed to think this is quirky and adorable, but it’s irritating as hell.

The only character I came close to wanting to spend time with was Valerie Mahaffey, as a daffy but endearing friend who’s adopted by Pfeiffer and her blank slate of a son (Lucas Hedges). I don’t know why she wanted to be around these people, and the movie never gives us a good reason either.

What a total failure.
