Review: Irreplaceable

A devoted rural GP (Francois Chizet) is set in his ways and routine. he is loath to accept help even when he gets bad news and really needs to rest. Help arrives in the person of Dr Delezia (Marianne Denicourt), he greets her with resistance and grumpiness to cover how unsettled he is about this newcomer and his own situation. This is a delightful film mixing the serious with humour, charm and humanity. The sense of community and caring for each other is beautifully portrayed, just what the French do well.
