Plot: Delphine is looking forward to the holidays, but two weeks before she's about to leave, her companion cancels their plans. She doesn't have any other friends to join, so she tries to occupy herself. A trip with an acquaintance leaves her depressed, and a solo trip to the Alps turns out even worse.

So, in theory, this should've been a movie for me, as I face similar challenges as the lead character. However, the way she handled the situation was irritating; the endless conversations didn't appear particularly insightful, and the finale didn't do it for me either. Good cinema for me isn't about how much I can identify with characters or situations.
French cinema has a reputation for being dialogue-heavy, which I suspect is thanks to films like The Green Ray. The performances weren't great, the characters were somewhat annoying, and the presentation was lacking. It's not a complete bore, but I had better hopes for this one.
