Let the Girls Play

About This Movie

So, 'Let the Girls Play' is this charming little comedy set in Reims during the late '60s. The atmosphere is laid-back, capturing the era's vibe beautifully. Paul, our protagonist, is a bit of a scoundrel, which brings a lighthearted tension as he navigates his work life and personal escapades. His dynamic with Emmanuelle, who’s more reserved and insightful, creates a nice contrast that drives the story. The pacing feels natural, allowing moments of humor and reflection to breathe. What stands out is how it plays with gender roles in sports journalism, a subtle nod to the evolving dynamics of the time. The performances are engaging, particularly the chemistry between the leads, which really adds warmth to the film.
