One of the characters wears a Rolex Daytona Ceramic in the 1990s, but the watch wasn't released until 2016. The film is very long and quite uneven between the first part, when the characters are teenagers, and the second part, ten years later.
The performances are actually good
The young actors are fresh and authentic. Adele and François are the best.
Mainly British and American songs, but very rooted in the era
Alain Chabat is a big teddy bear and, as always, makes you want to punch Benoit Poolvoorde. The background music sets the tone for the 80s in a small French industrial town.
