Wissenswertes
The idea of a night radio show comes from an actual radio show called "Les choses de la nuit" ("The things of the night", in English) with Jean-Charles Aschero, which lasted on France Inter from 1976 to 1996 and was broadcasted from midnight to 5 AM. One of the segments was called "Quel est ton prénom ?" ("What's your first name?"), where someone hidden from the host would reply to questions after promising to answer them truthfully (except, ironically, their first name). Director/writer Mikhaël Hers remembered that show from his childhood and integrated it in his script.

Patzer
Phone number told at the beginning is composed of 8 figures. At the time of the action, it was 7 figures in Paris area and 6 elsewhere in France. The new scheme went into force in 1985.

Great acting, but too little of every thing else

At least three very good acting performances in a story that says too little. We've got Charlotte Gainsbourg in a very mature and nuanced performance as Elisabeth Davis a single mom with two teenage kids trying to survive a painful separation and finding an unexpected support from a radio night broadcast. Where she also finds a lost soul called Talulah, played superbly by Noee Abita. She offers Talulah a place in her apartment. What we get afterward is the story of the Davis family and their interaction with Talulah over a few years this could very easily be a Hollywood movie with all the expected preachiness and morals we often get there - it doesn't go there and for that fact I'm grateful. But it doesn't go anywhere else. We simply get to see Elisabeth, her two kids (mainly Quito Rayon Richter as her son Mathias - showing a lot of promise) and Talulah who pops in and out of their lives until she disappears.

It looks like the director Mikhael Hers and his script writers had a story but didn't have a point to make. This would be a nice pilot for a TV drama series but as a stand alone movie - it doesn't stand alone and it's a shame because, as I said already we do get at least three very good acting performances that deserved better.
