3/5

Comedic actor Franois Damiens mines but never mocks Markus' awkwardness, thereby creating a winning portrait in decency. His tracing, with the ever-luminous Tautou, of the slow bloom of new love is a thing of understated beauty.

Although there's some meat on the menu, "Delicacy" ends up as lightly sugared and as gently bent as a fortune cookie.

It won't scare the chickens. It won't tax the brain. It won't scratch any tissue on its way down your gullet. It's another Audrey Tautou film.

4/5

Yes, variations of this story has been done many times before. But I love the sincerity, the humor, and the heart that permeates this entire picture.

Predictably whimsical and lightweight.

Co-directors David and Stephane Foenkinos (adapting the former's novel) ... play cute, shying away from ironic observation and relying too heavily on charm.

This is exactly what happens when you do not have good and clear ideas when creating a movie, but still you want to throw them in order to satisfy yourself. If Foenkinos wanted to surprise his audience with highly inexplicable acts, what he actually achieved was a lousy vision to write and direct something. Not only is his mediocrity but that of his characters, who are poor and unconvincing, leading the plot to a turbulent and hectic river of unknown whereabouts. 30/100
