Without the wig, but still accompanied by his faithful Liliane, since Bruno Sanches co-wrote the movie, Alex Lutz alias “Catherine” from the Canal + show of the same name, takes off his kitschy dress and heads for the director’s chair for this contemporary comedy. A new variation on the buddy movie that deals with dreams and illusions with humor and charm, thanks to a new group of well-observed 30-somethings. Unfortunately off the mark, although somewhat moving, this movie has a hard time finding a balance between its screwball energy, its high ambitions and a few poetic flights of fancy. Le talent de mes amis therefore offers some degree of doubt as to who is Alex Lutz, the director, actor and screenwriter of this rather bland movie.
