There Are No False Undertakings

About This Movie

So, 'There Are No False Undertakings' is this quirky little gem that really plays with the boundaries of fiction and reality. It’s a comedy that feels like a fever dream, where women hilariously claim they're pregnant with the letter E—seriously, it’s absurd but charming. Denzel Washington, playing himself in a sitcom, adds this bizarre layer that just works somehow. The pacing can be all over the place, which matches the chaotic vibe of the narrative. Mélusine Catafor’s journey from Three-Rivers to Montreal, searching for identity while learning English, adds a nice touch of depth amidst the madness. It's definitely distinctive in its tone, blending surreal humor with moments that make you think, even if you find yourself scratching your head sometimes. Practical effects are understated but fit the aesthetic well.
