Romaine

About This Movie

Romaine, directed by Agnès Obadia, is a curious blend of comedy and drama that explores the often awkward journey of self-discovery. The film captures a somewhat melancholic yet quirky vibe as we follow Romaine, a woman venturing into the unknown—both literally and figuratively. Her encounters with the trio of lumbering guys, and later, the two girls, create a tapestry of humor interlaced with moments of introspection. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to the charm. There's something distinctly refreshing about Romaine's fumbling attempts to find her passions and friendships. Performances are genuine, particularly in how they convey that sense of loneliness turned camaraderie. It’s a film that quietly resonates, lingering long after the credits roll.
