Jupiter !

About This Movie

So, Jupiter ! is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama, set against the backdrop of Christmas Day 2018. It’s got this offbeat charm surrounding the political circus, with Isabelle Barrere stepping into her new role as party president. Her son, Jupiter, is tasked with this quirky official gift, the Ortega Ham, which sets off a chain of events that feels both absurd and oddly relatable. The pacing can feel a bit meandering at times, but it adds to the laid-back atmosphere. The performances are quite engaging, especially with the interactions between the mother and son, which feel genuine and layered. There’s this subtle commentary on politics and family dynamics layered throughout that makes it stand out.
