L'Heure d'été (Summer Hours) - 3 stars out of 10
 
"L'Heure d'été" was a bit slow for my taste.  I love Juliette Binoche and Edith Scob had some nice delivery of her dialogue, but it honestly took over three hours to get through this film because I kept falling asleep.  The story is interesting as it shows how the lives of three children went in completely opposite directions and how their perspectives on dividing up their deceased mother's estate are completely different depending on their personal circumstances.  I liked all of the references to art but feel that the art aspect was underplayed.  "L'Heure d'ete" has some interesting content but for me, it fell flat as a whole.
