It may be a film about rich people living rich people lives and doing rich people things (and, obviously, sleeping with each other's partners), but 'Non-Fiction' is a funny one with a lot of smart insights.

This film starts off quite strongly with an interesting dialogue between the characters "Alain" (Guillaume Canet) and "Selena" (Juliette Binoche) on the future consumption of the written word - long/short form; digital, books, blogs etc - indeed does it have a future a all? Sadly, though, it soon descends into a rather monotonous and predictable exercise in wife swapping, middle-aged crises and never really goes anywhere new. It's wordy and rather flat for most of the last hour, and for me, the end of the rather drearily introspective story of people too obsessed with themselves didn't come a moment too soon.
