C’est imparfait, parfois un peu lent, ça traîne un peu les pieds, mais bizarrement j’étais bien dedans. Comme un vieux souvenir doux-amer qu’on ressort d’une boîte en carton

Community Reviews
Opinions on 'Cycle of Time' are mixed, with many appreciating its humorous take on societal changes and the role reversals between a 1950s couple thrust into 2025. The performances of Didier Bourdon and Elsa Zylberstein are frequently praised, and the film is seen as a light, enjoyable watch for a relaxed evening. However, some viewers find the comedy lacking in originality and depth, noting repetitive jokes and a sense of déjà vu in its handling of themes.
👍 Engaging performances and humorous societal commentary.
👎 May feel derivative and superficial to some.
