‘Delicacy’, the Foenkinos’ Debut Feature Film, Is Largely Forgettable Despite Its Occasional Charms

Elizabeth Pyjov

“Delicacy” is the first feature film of brothers Stéphane and David Foenkinos.  The film seems to have been made by rather inexperienced directors.  It flows from sentimentality to light comedy to tragedy in a way that is neither credible nor smooth. Its humor and gushiness would have been more appropriate for separate episodes of a longer soap opera than for a single film.
