But as a director, her impressive works are indeed not many. Lolo is positioned as a family or romantic comedy, at least for the first three quarters of the film. Julie Delpy and Dany Boon, who is good at playing the rustic Yankee, plus Vincent Lacoste, who was good in "Hippocrates" The relationship between people becomes the main contradiction in the story.
Living with ease and daring to laugh at yourself seems to be a philosophy of life and humor in the heart of the French, and we have this feeling in many French films. The same is true of "Lolo". The cleverly set foreshadowing, the sharply contrasting turns, and the tongue-in-cheek dialogue are all common methods in French comedy, but they are still used.
Through wave after wave of French humor, "Lolo" explores the series of effects brought about by the mother-son relationship of a single family from a female perspective, what issues people care about and ignore in such a family, and what should what is. It's just that the final reversal seems to involuntarily bring the movie closer to another somewhat terrifying atmosphere, making the whole movie somewhat inconsistent.
As a family comedy, "Lolo" has everything a drama should have, except that Julie Delpy seems to want a little too much.
