The settings are attractive in this movie. It is nice that it doesn't follow Hollywood conventions in its storytelling. In the beginning, you just enjoy that the film takes its time to portray the details. Then you realize that the details are neither pretty nor has an value for the rest of the film.
Also, this movie is ridiculously slow, in the end to no use. The slowness doesn't add any extra value. It's just boring. The other problem is that it's filmed so close to the actors and the props that you don't really get many nice, interesting pictures from it. You understand less and you don't gain anything. The movie is pretentious, yes.
The very end is surprising and exaggerated and it's difficult what it has anything to do with the rest of the movie. It's thin.
At least, the movie portrays a real setting (the French Riviera) in an OK way. Occasionally, the pictures are nice, almost by mistake zoomed out, it seems. And the movie is not predictable. I also like that it doesn't feel like it desperately need a story from start to end. It just is.
