Le premier jour du reste de ta vie gaat over vijf beslissende dagen uit het leven van een gezin van vijf personen, vijf dagen die belangrijker zijn dan de andere en waarbij de volgende dag niets nog hetzelfde zal zijn. Vader Robert en moeder Marie-Jeanne hebben drie kinderen: de nuchtere en intelligente Albert, de luie dromer Raphaël en de opstandige puber Fleur. Uit 22 jaar familiegeschiedenis wordt steeds één cruciale dag uit het leven van een gezinslid getoond. (Cinéart Nederland)

The overrated The Untouchables could could learn from this what real life and real emotions are. Absolutely brilliant.

Another French movie deserving of the full number stars. It’s been happening more than often lately. On the other hand, I don’t mind it at all. If the French keep coming up with such good ideas as in this movie, I’ll be more than happy to keep giving them good ratings. To tell the story of an absolutely average French family within five days of their lives, with each day being about one member, is an excellent idea in my opinion. Moreover, the whole movie is incredibly nice, pleasant, natural and completely human, so don’t hesitate and go watch it. This movie definitely deserves it.

I was curious to see this acclaimed French film, which I negligently overlooked, but in the end I'm inclined to be disappointed because it didn't grow on me. The idea and the way the story is told are definitely worth mentioning, unfortunately the humour is minimal, emotionally the film left me absolutely cold, the characters came across as uninteresting and nothing worth mentioning happened in the space of two hours. Actually quite a waste of time. Over-hyped to the point of woe. 55%

It's quite a pleasant film about the joys and sorrows of an average French middle-class family featuring adolescence, aging, love conflicts, emotional struggles, reconciliation, and forgiveness. However, I don't fully agree with the high rating this film has. It feels like a two-hour compilation of an average French family series with 150 episodes. But yes, it is a compilation of the best parts, and it's well-cast and acted. Nevertheless, I had the feeling of time passing too quickly and important themes and characters just passing by, rather than truly experiencing them. Overall impression: 65%.
