Mise au Vert

About This Movie

Mise au Vert has this raw, almost rustic charm that pulls you in. The backdrop of the Vercors is stunning, but it’s really about the struggles of a family trying to reconnect in a tech-dominated world. Régis’s effort to drag his family into this old, decrepit house—no water, no electricity—creates a sense of urgency and humor that’s pretty refreshing. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for those awkward, heartfelt moments that feel genuine. The performances, especially from the teenagers, are relatable and capture that angst of disconnection. The film emphasizes themes of nature, family, and the need to disconnect to truly connect, which feels timely. It's not just a comedy; it's a commentary wrapped in laughs.
