What we have here is a confusing film with confused divergent characters who for the most part do not seem connected in any way whatsoever.We have a non-handsome middle aged bi-sexual lawyer,We have a female lawyer as his some time sex partner.We have his bi-sexual client in nearby prison with a life sentencewho has the hots for the lawyer as well as this young female hairdresser, who gets involved with the lawyer.Now we add in this a teen aged lad who has the absolute hots for lawyer.The above sounds crazy & I feel if the characters had any idea of the roles they were playing,this may have come over much better.The director made this as a drama instead of a farcical satiric comedy, which the film really is. Thusly I cannot give this film any praise.Rating ** (out of 4) 63 points (out of 100) IMDb 5 (out of 10)

Just watched this and came here to read the comments and see the rating. I never would have guessed this is meant to be a comedy. Maybe it doesn't translate, culturally. It didn't strike me as funny in the least. What I saw was the central character, a male bisexual, pivoting between men and women without any rhyme or reason. I suppose that's the joke--that bisexuality offers too many options. Seriously, I saw one or two things that were amusing, particularly at the end, but there was little in this movie other than the tragic consequences of indecision. Not funny. Then again, maybe it's just my puritan heritage shining through.The actors are pretty, and I found it interesting to watch (it's France!), but I can't say it was really worthwhile. Put it at the bottom of your Netflix list.

(1) Poor Alain......what a strange man. He is damaged goods, and perhaps that's why we are shown several scenes of his mother:: The Queen of Damaged Goods. Alain can sometimes show passion with someone, but he can't be constant with someone.....he can't be monogamous. What a question mark of a human being.(2) But it is not only Alain who needs our pity:: Poor Christophe--- Alain is the opposite of who this young man needs (remember, if you will, what C's own father says that he needs). Cyrille Thouvenin does a very good job with the Christophe role (his performance alone makes this review's 6th Star), but he is able to do oh-so-much more in that greater French production:: "JUST A QUESTION OF LOVE."(3) PS: Alain's life is not just one of Confusion; it is one of utter chaos.

This is by far the worst movie I've seen from France in the past 5 years. This supposed comedy is anything but funny. The lead character is a narcissist so wrapped up in his work & making appearances that he's unaware of the impact he has on those around him. Why anyone would associate with this creep, much less have an affair with him is beyond me. His character is so abhorrent that there is no empathy from the viewer to the events that take place. It also fails as any type of social critique or satire as it is decidedly unfunny and doesn't create any insight into its subject matter.
