Let the Sunshine In Reviews - Metacritic
Not Rated Release Date: Isabelle, Parisian artist, divorced mother, is looking for love, true love at last. Drama , Comedy , Romance. See All Details and Credits.
Denis and her writing partner, the novelist and playwright Christine Angot, have woven a sublime comedy of sexual indecision. They mine Isabelle's affairs for humor as well as heartache, and do it with such delicacy that you may be hard-pressed to tell which is which. Variety - Guy Lodge May 27, Time - Stephanie Zacharek May 10, A multifaceted, bittersweet delight. The film slowly but surely works its charms, painting a rich, emotionally complex portrait of a woman who, like Denis herself, will not let herself be boxed in.
Here is a film littered with off-piste humor and featuring a memorable, warm-hearted ending that argues being open to serendipitous new experiences beats comforting certainties in life. The Playlist - Bradley Warren May 26, All in, the film is an unprecedented misfire for Denis.
Top level work from Binoche and Denis. Unobtrusive direction and a completely mezmerizing lead performance.
This is the tale of a meeting between Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mistaken for simple-minded, and Tancredi, a young nobleman cursed by his imagination. Isabelle, Parisian artist, divorced mother, is looking for love, true love at last.

When he decides to stay, they go through the motions together but by the next morning he concludes that things were better before they had sex and wishes that it had not happened. This is not good news for her to hear and she uses it as a reason to end any chance for reconciliation. There are several more suitors that follow but Isabelle always finds something about them that she dislikes.
This provides cover for her to end yet another relationship, one that had barely even begun. There is not much left for her of course but to go to a clairvoyant Gerard Depardieu, "You Only Live Once" , but his banter provides little certainty that she will find "the one.
Through the magic of Binoche's performance, Isabelle is a sympathetic figure and one that we root for. Her quest, however, has a touch of game playing to it and it seems that, for Isabelle, it may not be whether you win or lose but how you play the game. The credits on screen have an almost Brechtian distancing effect.

She feels she is in the right. But he is aggrieved and she has hurt his feelings.
