Coffee, Grapefruit, Cacao

About This Movie

So, 'Coffee, Grapefruit, Cacao' is this quirky comedy that really digs into the messiness of relationships. Samuel, our protagonist, is still grappling with his past with Laetitie, who has moved on to Gayle. The pacing feels a bit off-kilter at times, but it somehow suits the story's tone. There's this light-hearted charm while also confronting some pretty weighty themes about love and longing. The performances are surprisingly genuine, and you can sense the chemistry—even in the awkward moments. It has a laid-back vibe, which might not be for everyone, but it’s distinctive in its approach to showcasing the absurdities of love. Plus, the practical effects used in some scenes add a layer of whimsy that’s refreshing.
