In “LOL”, the meeting between the director and the actress had done wonders. Of this alchemy there is not much left: “I Love America”, which follows a woman in search of a new beginning, connects awkward dialogues and scenes. To see on Prime Video, or not.
LOL, his greatest success, already with Sophie Marceau, had established itself as a dashing mother-daughter comedy. Dalida vibrated with real beautiful melodramatic outbursts. And the most recent My baby, another mother-daughter comedy, gave Sandrine Kiberlain the opportunity to radiate and deliver excellent lines. That said to remind us that Lisa Azuelos can make a success of her films… unlike this one, her first on a platform, sad in the comedy as in the emotion.
Fiasco all the more regrettable as I Love America is intended to be largely autobiographical, with Sophie Marceau, therefore, acting as the director’s double. Following the death of her famous and unloving mother, the singer Marie Laforêt, Lisa the “French director” (as she presents herself to anyone who wants to hear her) seeks a new start in America, and sees herself registered on a site dating by a young gay friend living in LA
