Crème de menthe offers a poignant yet quirky take on grief and self-discovery. The film unfolds in a modest home filled with years of accumulated clutter, a physical representation of the emotional baggage Renée carries. The pacing feels almost contemplative, mirroring Renée's internal struggle as she navigates both the chaos of her father's possessions and her own sense of identity. It’s interesting how the mess becomes a character itself, shaping her interactions and reflections. The comedic elements are subtle, arising from the absurdity of the situation rather than over-the-top antics. The performances have this understated charm, particularly Renée's, which feels genuine and relatable. Overall, it’s a thoughtful exploration of family, loss, and finding oneself amid the chaos.
