De vrais mensonges is a 2010 French comedy-romance film starring Audrey Tautou and directed by Pierre Salvadori.
Émilie doesn't fall for the love letter but passes it on to her mother Maddy (Nathalie Baye) who has been depressed since the breakup of her marriage.
Jean's high level of education as a translator in several Asian and European languages is revealed in a verbal fight in Chinese with two women.
Émilie then writes new anonymous letters to her mother, but Maddy heavily criticizes them for their lack of style and emotion.
[3] Xan Brooks from The Guardian gave the film two out of five stars and stated "Audrey Tautou plays stupid cupid in this excitable comedy, a cut-price, candy-coated update on Jane Austen's Emma that bounces along the marina at Sete with its blood sugar through the roof.
