A Very Long Engagement

Young Frenchwoman Mathilde searches for the truth about her missing fiancé, lost during World War I, and learns many unexpected things along the way. The love of her life is gone. But she refuses to believe he's gone forever — and she needs to know for sure.
While this movie had all of the feel of an epic it still felt very unpolished. I had a hard time following the names and back story of the men in the central mystery. The scenes with Marion Cotillard's character felt very incomplete, almost as if there was a bigger story that was edited out. While Audrey Tautou is fantastic I couldn't help but think of how the movie reminded me of Atonement. That movie was far superior to this movie.
