The French love-triangle drama 'All About Them'

Jérôme Bonnell's breezy French love-triangle drama follows three very duplicitous young lovers who go to extreme lengths to cheat on one another.

Mélodie (Anaïs Demoustier), a twenty-something, Lille-based lawyer, is in love with Micha (Félix Moati) but is also having a passionate affair with his girlfriend, Charlotte (Sophie Verbeeck).

The film is pitched between bedroom farce and soulful drama about young love. It is attractively performed by its leads and sometimes very funny, with several scenes of lovers being caught in flagrante or hiding from one another, but is undermined by its very contrived and all too predictable plotting.
