Ambitious

About This Movie

So, 'Ambitious' is this quirky little comedy-romance from 2007 that definitely has its own vibe. You’ve got Judith Zahn, this elitist Parisian editor who thinks she's too good for the world, clashing with Julien Demarsay, a shy bookseller whose first novel is all about introspection—there's a real contrast there. The film leans heavily into the awkwardness of their interactions, and you can almost feel the tension as they navigate their vastly different worlds. The pacing's a bit uneven at times, but that adds to its charm. The performances are a mixed bag, but I think that rawness kinda works. It’s not about grand gestures but more about the little moments that make you smile or cringe.
