France, 1870. Rosalie is a young woman with a secret… She was born with a face and body covered in hair. A genuine bearded lady. She’s kept her secret safe all her life, until Abel, an indebted bar owner, marries her for her dowry. Now, she no longer wishes to hide. (Picturehouse Entertainment)

An intimately off-kilter but likeably original idea rendered into a rather traditional melodramatic cliché about society’s inability to accept otherness in its ranks. And about a couple who find kinship as they struggle with provincial obtuseness. The French are not afraid of anything. If the courage of the director/screenwriter had been applied also to the unexpected and appropriately shocking conclusion of the story, the film would have left a more substantial mark on the festival scene. [San Sebastian International Film Festival]
