- GoofsAs Eloise wakes up at the beginning, two clocks indicate it is 6:05 am. She gets dressed, which would take a few minutes at the pace shown. She puts on his wristwatch, which is still at 6:05. This could still be explained by the watch running behind, although that would not fit the character. But then the left clock's alarm goes off and both clocks are also still at 6:05, which is impossible.
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits are brief shots of the real Bruno, his passing TGV, and the real Eloise waving and showing a rolled up letter.

Featured review
A masterpiece of mediocrity
This will be a short review for a short film that unfortunately feels longer than it actually is.
After a fairly effective beginning, the story immediately begins to tread water. It's repetitive, undramatic and predictable. As for the actors: Jane Birkin regularly appears unsure of what emotion to express, her face saying more about her age than about her characters struggle. Lucien Guignard seems to channel John Travolta's Danny from Grease, which, while amusing, quickly gets stale (which says a lot, considering the the entire film is only thirty minutes long).
Ultimately the film feels like the hundredth iteration of the stereotypical drama about the lonely, sentimental older lady.
