| Melanie Laurent stars in "The Day I Saw Your Heart" |
I should start my review of "The Day I Saw Your Heart" with a warning: Do not watch this film, unless you are prepared to fall in love, or more deeply in love, with Mélanie Laurent. The stunning French ingenue is as captivating here as she was in "Inglourious Basterds" and even more charming than we saw her in "Paris" and "Beginners." Without discounting the rest of the cast, the movie truly belongs to Laurent's Justine.
Expecting an airy romantic comedy, I was caught by surprise with how dense and thoughtful this film was. Director Jennifer Devoldère packs "The Day I Saw Your Heart" full of details, both in subplot and character intricacies, elevating the story above what it would have been otherwise.
