My second Kechiche wasn't a big success. Blue Is the Warmest Color didn't really do it for me, and I recognized a lot of that film in Couscous. It features many loud, yapping and aggravated characters wrapped up in endless conversations, while a very simple/meager plot develops in the background. Slimane's characters is decent, but he's merely a sideshow in this film.

The middle part of the film is pretty decent, the first and final act didn't really do it for me. Read all
