Chicken With Plums | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

The limitless resources of the seventh art end up playing in favor of making the production a better embodiment of the story than we could find in its original vehicle. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's undeniably beautiful, but it also feels awfully familiar, with the lighthearted mix of comedy and melancholy veering closer to Jeunet's territory than Satrapri's singular wit.

As sumptuously gratifying as their film is, there's a definite inadequacy in its naïve considerations of love and commitment that casts a hollow pallor over the proceedings. But that's not to say you won't be enchanted by the tragic melancholy.

Chicken with Plums takes the audience into a magical and wonderful space. It provokes a lot of laughs, but was also the only time I saw audience members crying openly and unashamedly.
