Le Nouveau

About This Movie

Le Nouveau (2023) is this quirky comedy that dives into the life of Alexis Berthier, who's had a stroke and ends up back in primary school. The tone balances humor and human struggle quite interestingly, making it both lighthearted and poignant. You see this guy grappling with his lost abilities, which adds a certain depth to the comedic moments. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it somehow fits the narrative of rediscovery. Performances are charming, especially how they handle the awkwardness of adulting in a child’s world. The practical effects aren't flashy, but they serve the story well, creating a relatable atmosphere. It definitely has its own vibe, marking it distinctly away from typical TV movie fare.
