COMMUNITY REVIEWS

VIOLENT rapes submitted by LVDS on August 12, 2017, 5:42pm Interesting French film, some twists & turns in several dysfunctional relationships.

Nonsensical plot submitted by Shayne on November 21, 2017, 10:10pm This movies seems to promise an interesting plot with psychological drama, intense mystery and intrigue but it delivers none of these things. Instead it serves up 130 excruciating minutes of confusion and boredom.

Watching it right now. Read the reviews above and did not expect much good, but it's a serious, good movie. submitted by Tassos on January 13, 2022, 7:57am This so far is an excellent movie. The lead actress, Isabelle Hupert, while not a 'movie queen' looks-wise, more than a clever 'girl next door', is an outstanding actress (and NOT 'actor"!). The rape scenes the first review brought up may be a product of her imagination, as the same scene occurs again and again, each time with a different outcome. But it is still early. I enjoy understanding some of the French without having to rely 100% on subtitles.
