You Are So Beautiful (film)

You Are So Beautiful is a 2013 French romantic comedy film directed by Lisa Azuelos and starring Sophie Marceau and Patrick Bruel. The film follows Isabelle (Marceau), a 45-year-old divorcee who, feeling invisible and unattractive, uses an online dating site to reinvent herself. She creates a younger, more glamorous profile and is soon inundated with attention, including that of Alexandre (Bruel), a charming banker. The film explores themes of self-esteem, ageism, societal expectations of women, and the complexities of modern dating in the digital age. While the initial premise involves deception, the narrative primarily focuses on Isabelle's journey to self-acceptance and her eventual pursuit of genuine connection rather than superficial validation. The film's French title is Une rencontre, which translates to "A Meeting" or "An Encounter."
