Nous, les Leroy approaches a failing marriage with humor, melancholy and unusual honesty. Florent Bernard's debut makes its central couple sympathetic without pretending either of them has handled the relationship well.
After more than twenty years together, Sandrine wants a divorce. Christophe proposes a final family weekend revisiting important places from their shared life. He hopes the memories will rescue what routine and poor communication have damaged.
Charlotte Gainsbourg combines Sandrine's anger with vulnerability and dry humor. José Garcia gives Christophe both comedy and tragedy, making his nostalgia affectionate but also revealing. Their chemistry is a highlight, moving between desperation and tenderness.
Bernard has a strong sense of emotional detail. The dialogue is precise and believable, and even absurd comic exchanges feel purposeful rather than forced. Julien Hirsch's images find unexpected poetry in plain locations such as car parks and worn hotels. Those surroundings fit the film's bittersweet tone.
The children's secondary stories are less convincing. Still, the marriage and the attempt to repair it remain compelling. For me, this is a warmly performed, intelligently written family comedy that understands how difficult communication can become. Its humor does not hide the sadness, and its sadness does not exclude the possibility of a laugh.
