Barbecue

Barbecue (2014) is a French comedy from director Eric Lavaine you can watch online on iFILM. Antoine spent fifty years counting calories and managing his temper, and on his birthday his heart gave out anyway.

The doctors tell him to be even more careful. He does the opposite. He quits the diet, pours the wine, fires up the grill and decides to actually live. The yearly summer cookout brings his old gang back together, and behind the easy banter sit grudges, secrets and things nobody said for years. Smoke from the coals loosens all of it. Lambert Wilson and Franck Dubosc lead the cast.

A warm, low-key midlife comedy that finds the laughs instead of milking the sentiment. Easy company for an evening when you want to unwind. Stream Barbecue (2014) online on iFILM.
