This movie is painfully romantic ... very painful ... and very romantic.Firstly, I can really understand the famous critic Roger Ebert, when he describes the story as frustrating, and the characters as impossible to relate to. This is not how love should be: obsessive and self-destructive.However movies, do not have to reflect perfect life, or perfect love, but show us the extremes, how it turns out, if one would follow a path to the end without compromise, or play a game, and don't stop playing it. Also I believe the movie does contain more truth, then one would admit: Aren't things like the past, or pride, standing in the way of truly loving a person?Without spoiling, I can say the movie consists of three parts.The First part, is thoroughly innocent, and adorable, it tells one of the sweetest cinematic love stories, i have seen.Second part, the story gets more twisted, there is also more comedy, still one would not guess what awaits in the third part.Let me say this, without actually mentioning what happens in the end: I think there are 2 ways of loving, 1. to live happily with your loved one, and 2. to express how much you love, your loved one, no matter what. Which one is more important? Maybe sometimes the second ...

Thus, a typical European artistic film... Directing and photography are OK, actors are good, the rather artificial plot has some interesting twists - but it is not the film giving you background thoughts or that you would like to see again later. The characters are no role models either, besides, such types of persons would never "grow up" or have children... It seems that the makers wanted to create something very different and quaint, so much non-Hollywood, that they somehow forgot about an average audience. But the world is full of sophisticated films for only a few thousands of happy viewers...5 points from me as I did not expect much either, the result was even slightly better than I expected... And the film is not lengthy.

It is really surprising to see the ratings some movies get. As I write this "Jeux d'enfants" has got a 7.6 on IMDb. I don't get it. The story is obnoxious. I do not really understand why the do what they do. It makes no sense. They seem to be crazy children all their lives. I hate the main characters. I wanted them to die at every chance they had, and there were some.That would have conveniently shortened this awful movie. This movie reminds someone of Amelie? Well, maybe because they speak French too. If you like this movie I do not want to meet you, thanks. I do not understand why IMDb chops my comments and then says I need to write more. It had 10 lines when I wrote it. Now I must seem like a rabid maniac who does not know about paragraphs and full stops...
