A Contré Sens 2: My Unexpectedly Awesome Prime Video Find

Okay, so you know how sometimes you just randomly stumble onto something on Prime Video and think, "meh, whatever, let's give it a shot?" That's exactly how I found A Contré Sens 2. I wasn't even looking for a French film, let alone a sequel to something I'd never even heard of. But man, am I glad I did. Seriously, this movie surprised the heck out of me.

I'm usually pretty picky about what I watch. Give me a good action flick any day, but usually I stay away from foreign films unless someone I trust highly recommends them. I mean, subtitles? Sometimes they just throw me off. It's like reading a book while trying to watch the movie, ya know?

What I Loved (and Hated a Little) About A Contré Sens 2

The plot, despite me needing subtitles, was actually pretty easy to follow. It's about this group of friends, and their whole lives get turned upside down. There's drama, some laughs—the kind of laughs that make you chuckle, not roar. And the characters were surprisingly relatable; flawed people making questionable choices, just like us! The whole thing had a great feel to it, really well-paced. Unlike some films that drag on and on. It was captivating enough that I actually ended up pausing it less often than I would a typical movie. It was pretty fantastic!

The acting was pretty solid too, which really helped because, um, I'm not going to lie; I got a little lost in the beginning. There were some scenes where I was like, "Wait... what just happened?", but I think that was more my fault than the film's. Sometimes I'm distracted, okay? I'm a multitasker—a very busy multitasker! That might explain why the movie was so captivating, though. It made me pay attention to avoid the struggle of getting lost!

Why You Should (or Shouldn't) Watch It

Now, if you’re a total snob and only watch Oscar-winning masterpieces, maybe this isn't for you. But if you're looking for a decent film to watch on a night in, particularly if you are a fan of French films, A Contré Sens 2 is a good choice. It's not perfect, but it kept me entertained.

Here's the lowdown:

• Pros: Engaging storyline, relatable characters, solid acting, good pacing. It's easily accessible on Prime Video, which is a huge plus. It makes this entire experience super convenient and cost-effective.
• Cons: Subtitles might be an issue for some viewers, and the beginning is a little slow to get into. Also, it's not going to win any major awards, but it is a surprisingly good film for a casual Friday night movie.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from A Contré Sens 2, but I ended up really enjoying it. And that’s why I’m telling you all about it—this under-the-radar film deserves some recognition. It’s certainly better than many of the films hyped up on the streaming service!

Final Verdict: Thumbs Up!

It's a solid choice if you're looking for something different. I know I'll be checking out the first film in the series next. After all, it couldn't be that bad if the sequel was actually this good. And you never know, maybe you’ll find your new favorite movie too. Go give A Contré Sens 2 a shot! You might just surprise yourself. And who knows, you might even improve your French listening skills by accident!
