Simon Oct 18 really grating audio See more DBee Oct 16 This appeared to be an amateur film by a couple of millennials. It was in a word...pathetic. See more Ranny L @RT68152916 Oct 28 I like the film The French Italian because of its humorous touches, real-world examples, and the two main characters’ unrealistic opinions of what they believe to be an amazing play. The story takes place in modern day New York City, and follows a couple, Valerie (Cat Cohen), and Doug (Aristotle Athari), who are antagonized by their downstairs neighbor (Jon Rudnitsky), and his new girlfriend, Mary (Chloe Cherry). When they find out that Mary is an actress, Valerie and Doug come up with a plan to get revenge on her, by writing a fake play and casting her in it. They write the play as a joke, but get really into it, envisioning themselves as great playwrights. The play takes place, but Mary finds out about their plan and leaves, and eventually, the play is a success as a one man show starring their other actor, Joe (Ikechukwu Ufomadu). The story really symbolizes real-world examples of getting too caught up in something, and believing yourself to be a genius. One aspect that really impressed me is how it manages to portray the characters in a way that is both comedic and authentic. Although the acting is generally impressive, a few characters don’t seem to portray any emotion throughout the film, such as Mary, who just looks bored throughout the entire film. My favorite part is when the play takes place, starring Joe, and is a complete success, due to its humor that made both the audience in the film and me laugh. My least favorite part is when Mary and her boyfriend are fighting, and prevent Valerie and Doug from getting any sleep. The film’s message is about realistic expectations, and not overestimating your abilities. It also reminds us to be self aware. Be forewarned that there are some references to adult concepts, mild nudity, language, and drinking. I give The French Italian 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18. It will be available on VOD starting on October 28, 2025. By Elsy S., KIDS FIRST!
