ON MY WAY
On My Way is a delightful ‘dramedy’ starring Catherine Deneuve and is highly recommended for audiences who enjoy French cinema.
Bettie (Deneuve) is in her 60s, lives with her domineering mother and runs a restaurant which is financially unviable. When jilted by her lover, she decides enough is enough and goes on a wild road trip where she inadvertently reconnects with her estranged daughter and ultimately finds true love.
Bettie is elegant, yet childish, far removed from stereotypical characters of her age and audiences will warm to her owing to Deneuve’s cheeky portrayal and the humorous script which is wickedly funny at times.
On My Way’s story builds slowly but once the craziness of the road trip transpires, audiences should be captivated. (MM)
