The scouts
A two-minute rom-com about body insecurity and romantic nervousness is exactly the kind of earnest setup that makes most scouts yawn—which means either Cornu found a way to invert it entirely, or this is precisely the consensus crowd-pleaser Felix avoids.
The tenderness here sits within a lineage of intimate coming-of-age comedy, though the question is whether Cornu's formal choices—pacing, editing rhythm, the tonal balance between humor and vulnerability—elevate this beyond the familiar beats of self-doubt-meets-connection.
At two minutes, there's no room for waste; whatever choice Cornu makes—a glance held a beat too long, a sound bridge that shifts the emotional register, a specific comedic timing—will be the film's entire architecture, and that constraint is where something real lives.
