w donald s Jul 10, 2022 Very slow. Disjointed. Stories werent followed thru. Characters took action totally at odds with how they been presented See more Ghederick Eshmont Jul 9, 2022 There very well may be people in the world that resemble characters in Claire Denis films…but no matter, each time she releases a film, I have a difficult time spending two-hours with them. Vincent Lindon follows up Titane with another powerful performance. See more Sara R @RT68695023 Nov 30, 2024 I have to say, the movie had me intrigued I wanted to know what was going to happen. The character of Jean in its whole was brilliant, with minor mishaps. But Binoche’s character on the other hand, for me was complete and utter mess, even making you feel uncomfortable. Especially when Jean has the talk with Francois and confronts Sara. Oh what a mess of a scene. Anyways, would not Recommend but also wouldn’t trash it, I saw it till the end. Oh and also, lots of things left unsaid in the movie - Why did Francois and Sara end their relationship ( the first time) , why did Jean go to prison , why was Sara so obsessed with Francois.. why was the relationship between Jean and Francois so weird?

Everyone is playing the subtext of every scene perfectly. See more dave d @RT34924333 May 9, 2023 Claire Denis made a film that is a mess. There's nobody to root for as most of the characters are painted as distant. There are some loose ends that aren't explained and that's ok, but the third act is so unrewarding that it makes you regret watching the parts that led you there. There is a sense of dread that makes the viewer think there could be something violent about to happen. The music lead is ultimately frustrating. Juliette Binoche is wonderful. What about these random racial statements? What was the purpose of the add on to the family? Many questions, but there will be no answers that matter. Final Score: 2.8/10 See more Sep 11, 2022 Juliette Binoche is terrific. See more Read all reviews
