A beautifully acted and astutely observed romantic drama which twists and turns as expectations are repeatedly confounded. Indeed, the four-hander (which also includes Fanny Ardant) manages to bring the magic of the theatre to the silver screen. It’s an ensemble piece but it’s undeniably Azéma whom the rest are all dancing around. She’s phenomenal. Mélo is a classically framed and sumptuously executed romance. — Rob Aldam
