Marie-Jeanne and Robert have three children: Albert, Raphaël and Fleur. Over the course of twelve eventful years, we see five key days as seen through the eyes of each one of these characters. Five days are crucial in these lonely, vibrant, frustrated, elated and triumphant lives. Five days whose consequences reverberate through this eccentric family like thunder and lightening of a gathering storm. These five days are more important then any other day. After you've experienced them, nothing will ever be the same again.

The First Day of the Rest of Your Life review by JD
Fine vintage
(2) of (2) members found this review helpful.
A lovely angle through which to view the history of a family. Poignant moments. It is surprisingly captivating. A little loss of continuity is inevitable but surprisingly important as the reaction of one family member to another changes so much between episodes. Possibly true to life but still difficult to believe. It did not attract me to a character who all seemed very self-contained and egotistical. The acting is eccentric and funny but not subtle.

The First Day of the Rest of Your Life review by PV
Entertaining French movie
(1) of (3) members found this review helpful.
This is that rare beast: a French film that is actually entertaining. OK so it's all very soapy and family-orientated. But it is entertaining and there are some great lines in some funny dialogue. I think this is French trying to be cool American - but perhaps no worse for that. Not brilliant but it passes the time happily enough.
