"L'Homme qu'on aimait trop" is about the Maurice Agnelet vs Renée Leroux story. I am not sure that those who have followed this long criminal saga will learn anything. And not sure either that those who do not know it will be interested. Actors are quite good, but the directing is a bit flat, especially the end at the tribunal. Because the story is spread over 30 years, with new sentences made after the film was finished, it is clear that after watching it, we still don't know the truth. Was Agnelet guilty of killing Agnes Leroux, probably, was it right to send him 20 years in jail, without any corpse, any car, and any strong evidence, may be not. This film will at least let you understand well the roles of all the protagonists involved in one of the strangest disappearance (Agnès Leroux) and unpleasant suspect (Maurice Agnelet) of the seventies in Nice.
