In Times Have Been Better, the French comedy, Jeremy excels at everything. While only 30 he has just been promoted to an executive position at the bank. In his parents' eyes he's the golden child, much to the chagrin of his younger brother, Robin, who has been the only one in the family privy to Jeremy's sexual predilections.
But when Jeremy unexpectedly stops by for Sunday Brunch and announces that he's just moved in with, well, his boyfriend, things begin to percolate: Jeremy's parents always fancied themselves as progressive and liberal. After this piece of news - not so much. They embark on a comical quest to find out what caused Jeremy's homosexuality.

The quality of this French tele-movie is so high that I expected it to have been one which received cinematic release.
The English subtitles are very well crafted and made enjoying the film to the utmost a breeze - stirring every emotion (including plenty of out loud laughter, and a few tears).
The 24 minute "behind the scenes" extra feature does a great job with supplementary information - in the main part reinforcing my own understanding and appreciation of the fimmakers' fully realised intentions.
I deeply cared about these characters, I loved how their stories evolved. As the writer states, it's not a guide to coming out - but it is certainly an ideal film for fostering awareness of the struggle faced even by "open minded" parents who have discovered that their envisioned future for their child will be needing some radical re-evaluation.
As close to perfect as any film I've seen and fully deserving five stars.

A crappy two hours of horrible drunk disfunctional parents. Made me grind my teeth. Nothing about the two men and romance. And a useless brother character who was completely wasted. Pass on this one. Horrible!

This film is in French and has english subtitles so beware....
I loved this film as it ties the families story together quite well. You don't get much background just a good starting point for the begining of the main action.
Each member of the family has a brief plot point in the film, each deals with personal as well as family issues.
Unlike alot of movies that try this type of mulitple plot story line "Times have been Better" ties the story together well and leaves you at a conclusion that is well rounded and leaves a mystery.(just a little)

Realmente me parecio una historia muy bonita, con algunas risas y sobre una historia de tolerancia de la familia y la importancia de la honestidad con ellos

THE best coming out to the parents movie ever! Unfortunately the Europeans just have the upper hand over their counterparts across the Atlantic when it comes to serious film making. You couldn't possibly touch more nerves, more accurately and more convincingly than this film does. You'll definitely laugh and will probably shed a tear too. It's a film that encourages you to love and to be stoic in the face of the consequences. And it proposes that there can be some sort of golden middle path in the catastrophe that is family life. Absolutely breathtaking!
