Explaining how À Nos Amours succeeds as a thought piece on existential dread for new fathers is probably not going to convince any of you to see the film, but you ought to give it a spin. For the first hour, 

À Nos Amours is searing 
and
[fires] on all cylinders. 

Ultimately it [slips], though, and the last third is a chatty act that [meanders] its way to a non-ending. Pialat was hardly a master filmmaker (though he plays Suzanne's father perfectly here), but he knew his way around a movie set just the same. He shoots À Nos Amours with an 

[un]sparing 
and 
[un]caring 

lens, and no one here escapes coming off in an unflattering light.

Give it a whirl in lieu of the usual horror fare you'd check out this weekend.
