Reviews (1)
Infidelity, jealousy and passion through the poetic eyes of a woman – in other words, a load of talking and no action. Anne Fontaine successfully draws the eroticism out of what’s left unseen. And any screenwriting missteps that would bore male viewers are justified by the ending, which makes the film an extremely refined “thoughtful romance” for more mature viewers, particularly for individuals wandering in the mazes of faltering long-term relationships.
