Community Reviews
Viewers generally appreciate 'Les Volets Verts' for its strong performances, particularly by Gérard Depardieu, whose portrayal of a fading star is both powerful and poignant. The film's setting in the 1970s, along with its intimate and reflective ambiance, adds a nostalgic charm, although some found the plot slow and the script dated. The supporting cast, including Fanny Ardant and Benoît Poelvoorde, also received praise, though Ardant's limited screen time was noted.
👍 Depardieu's performance is a standout.
👎 Some may find the plot slow and dated.
