OneFineMorning Review: Léa Seydoux Anchors Small But Stimulating Drama
There is a sense of smallness to Mia Hansen-Løve's One Fine Morning that is part and parcel of its intent as an artistic project. The film is contained within the scope of one woman's life, which is itself fairly contained, both by circumstance and by choice. Things happen that in other movies might be heightened for drama or intrigue, which here are instead presented as ordinary.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Sandra is many things: Professional interpreter, fluent in English and German in addition to her native French; single mother to an eight-year-old daughter, Linn ; child to Georg , a retired professor whose neurodegenerative disease is on the brink of requiring around-the-clock care. She gives herself over to these roles in her life, perhaps to a fault, until she runs into Clément , an old friend with whom she feels an instant connection.
The way Hansen-Løve structures the storytelling also serves as an effective way to meditate on the experience of losing one's parent to a degenerative illness, and its many nuanced layers. Sandra's interactions with Georg are so clearly mirrored by those she has with Linn, in that she, acting as caretaker, has to essentially parent her father.
There are also moments in their conversations that oscillate between tragic and comedic, as is often the case in reality, and the audience won't be sure whether to laugh or cry. The process of being handed puzzle pieces and needing to assemble them oneself proves stimulating, and while One Fine Morning asks more questions than it answers, there's a certain truth in that, too.
Given its minute scope, the movie comes close to overstaying its welcome at almost two hours long, but it offsets any potential antsiness with strong visual composition. There is a warmth to One Fine Morning's cinematography that makes one want to stay in its embrace.
