Two Tickets to Greece

What would happen if you put a pessimistic introvert close to an optimistic extrovert? This movie tries to answer that question. And as a realistic introvert, I understood one of the character a lot more than the other. Blandine was left by her ex husband, who chose a younger woman to get married and have a kid with. Trying to make her feel better, their son decides to contact Magalie, her best friend in high school, hoping it will help his mother get through her depression. Thirty years after, it is very clear that they have nothing in common, Blandine has a job, a very tidy life, and seems quite dull, and on the other side, Magalie is still living as if she was 20, without a job, in a small room with a roommate, smiling, screaming and living life as if there was no tomorrow. Through lies, they end up going together on a trip to Greece, where nothing goes according to plan, which makes Blandine very unhappy and snappy, while Magalie always find the good in everything. The story is centred on Blandine going through a journey on herself, and slowly opening up to the world, thanks to someone she thinks she hates. As I said earlier, I am an introvert, so Magalie is very much the type of character that I would run away from, but the duo does work quite well together. And even though a lot of moments were cringy to me, I do think that was also the point of the movie.
