Familiar situations and trite dialogue give this movie the feel of something freeze-dried and reconstituted.

Besson's black-and-white angel fantasy is a weak homage to Wings of Desire, if that's what he was shooting for.

Luc Besson returns to his roots in this delightful, funny and stylish fantasy. Shot in gloriously crisp black and white, it's also a bit of a throwback to the French New Wave for its technique and dazzling location vignettes across Paris.

You desperately want the story, and the characters, to make some kind of emotional sense. This, however, does not happen.
