June and John: if the plotline of Luc Besson’s film sounds familiar, that’s because it is. A young man leaving a thankless existence with boring work and seemingly no social life accidentally meets a charming young woman who turns his life upside down. The story is tired, the tone is inconsistent, and the film brings nothing fresh to the table, either thematically or aesthetically; also, the performances are far from engaging. Matilda Price is certainly charming as the free-living young woman, but her performance is inconsistent (partly, the blame lies on how the character was built); Luke Stanton Eddy’s acting feels too low energy, making it hard to believe the relationship could even start in the first place. It is a bit of a backhanded compliment, but the high point is the work of editor Julien Rey, who keeps the pace snappy without anything too interesting or distracting; the images of cinematographer Tobias Deml are colourful and solar, but otherwise uninteresting.
