"What did I expect, coming away with a girl I hardly know?".(Ben speaks his mind after a key beachside altercation).







Marion (Camille Chamoux) and Ben (Jonathon Cohen) are not representative of your typical Tinder date here. It's the type of romantic comedy French cinema is so adept at. A couple hook up, enjoy each other in every way, then test the chemistry with a holiday; a holiday with its beginnings on the underwhelming Bulgarian coast. The thing about Premieres is that we know where it's going. The premise is that opposites attract, they have their tussles over issues of opinion, values, and status along the way and these eventually come to a head. The leads are loveable enough (in particular Chamoux) so we're happy to ride almost every bump. Excepting for a couple of silly scenes (a particularly ridiculous pool scene), Premieres is an indulgence of little substance but plenty of heart. The French have so mastered this type of light entertainment. 8GUMS.
