A Proper Man dives into the messy reality of relationships through Étienne's eyes, offering a blend of comedy and drama that feels both genuine and relatable. The film's tone is a mix of light-hearted humor and poignant moments, making it an interesting watch. Its pacing can sometimes feel a bit uneven, but it mirrors the chaos of Étienne's life as he navigates his past. The interactions with his ex-partners, Lucas and Caroline, alongside his family, create a layered narrative about self-identity and societal expectations of masculinity. Performances are quite solid, especially the nuanced portrayal of Étienne's struggles. It has a distinct indie vibe; you can sense the practical effects of the setting, which adds to its charm.
