In his directorial debut, Nicolas Bedos stars opposite co-writer Doria Tillier as a French couple intertwined, consumed with, and defined by each other in life and work: he, an accomplished writer; she, his sometime-muse and editor. The chemistry between Bedos and Tillier is irresistible, as they quip back and forth through four decades of music, haircuts, and a romance that's more shattered glass and Camus than chocolate and flowers. Biting and tender, Mr. & Mrs. Adelman packs the intricacies of marriage into a romantic comedy - with a twist. (Hamptons International Film Festival)

At the start, this movie’s a little difficult to grasp – specifically the storytelling and the two main characters Mr. and Mrs. Adelman. But as the movie goes on, a debutant Nicolas Bedos blows his life story into such epic proportions that you wouldn’t want to miss a single second of this couple’s life. I was overjoyed that they still make these kinds of movies and by the end, it was hard not to cry. This movie is a perfect storytelling of two individuals’ lives. It shows their most emotional moments, and somehow, it manages to all fall into place and not feel episodic at all. And when the movie reveals quite a shocking twist at the end, it makes you want to pull out the five-star sticker; however, the start was too slow to deserve it. But if I ever decide to rewatch this, it will be with great pleasure. It’s a movie which describes life like it truly is – good, but also often bad.
