Press Review

​

"A film about future retirees? The idea might not sound exciting, but it's not just about that. 'Sexygénaires', hitting theaters on June 14, 2023, is a funny, sensitive, and moving film. The dialogues are sharp. The return of the Lhermitte/Timsit duo is a pleasure to see. This film will delight both young and old. A comeback for the much-criticized boomers who now embrace the more flattering label of 'sexy seniors'! You won't see the elderly in the same way again..."

"Light, tender, and populated with perfectly chosen supporting roles (such as Olivia Côte or Zineb Triki, too rare since 'The Bureau'), this is a film that ages rather well..."
