French drama Time to Leave is slow-moving

Time to Leave

Director: Francois Ozon

Cast: Melvil Poupaud, Christian Sengelwald, Jeanne Moreau

Cert: 18

Faced with only a handful of months to live, fashion-photographer Romain (Poupaud) examines his life, his friends, his family. He decides, since he is soon to depart, to spare nobody from what he considers is his new-found honesty.

This sombre French drama has many fine moments, though it is a slow-moving affair. It’s a conventional enough examination of a lifetime of regrets and missed opportunities.

Star Rating: 3/5
