The movie is good but too pessimistic in my opinion. Elsa Zylberstein is great and convincing in her role of an independent but fragile woman, hurt by her past wounds. The speed dating scenes are great examples of what most of us think today and show how disillusioned many single women are!
I might be from another planet but I believe that you can find true love. It is not easy for sure, in the last few years I have met a lot of ladies but there was not this little spark. I wonder why it is so difficult to meet the right person. Happiness should be so easy and simple. What do you need? Someone that has similar tastes, not in all things but in the ones you most like, someone you like the look of her and someone with whom you share great intimate moments. Sex is important for the relationship and for our individual mental and physical health. Do depressed people have good sex? I doubt. Finally you need to be willing to build something together, to share future goals... life is simple... and complexe but one thing is important: never lose control of your life!
Unfortunately the movie is not very optimistic, may be realistic but I refuse to think it should be like that. Life is great and with the right person it is simply magical. I know that there are not so many men around that are great (most just look for an affair and seduce you for just few nights and more than often they are disappointing lovers), but those that want a great relationship, that are not selfish, that are interesting, that are great lovers do exist (but we are not so many :D!) Eloise gets burned once thinking she met the right guy and he is typically what is said above! If a guy needs to ask you if you had an orgasm he probably does not know how a woman body works, what a woman's orgasm looks and feels like!
In a nutshell the movie is good because it shows how most of us that are still singles (or new singles) and in our thirties try to find our half. I do not talk about speed dating here. Anyway, I do not think you should be as disillusioned as Eloïse.
