2/4

Once this frothy French romance evolves into a more serious drama, it turns turgid, causing a jarring tonal shift.

2/5

Waiting for Bojangles exists to merely further romanticize mental illness as just another characteristic of being a free spirit, just too good for this world. She ain’t heavy, she’s just quirky.

The film’s vision of a life of immeasurable joy and passion — one lived solely for love, without limits or qualifications — is beautiful and, for this critic and helpless romantic, powerfully intoxicating.

3/5

This fiction paints an eccentric and sensitive portrait of the family, and goes deeper than what it seems. But there’s a strong sense of deja-vu along the way, especially regarding the tone.
