Kent Turner Film-Forward.com The noteworthy directorial debut by Jean-Jacques Jauffret is an example of the private-in-public school of acting. Rated: 3/4 Feb 22, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

don s This French drama seems to be pointless. Not only does it not have a point, it has no point from 4 different perspectives: a girl who thinks she is pregnant, her mother, her loser boyfriend, and an old man who lives across the street. Some may call this art. I call it tedium. Adele Haenel is pleasing to the eye. bumping it up half a notch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member it's only downfall is possibly being a bit too personal here. The film could have worked as a hour long piece, and what is here is a brilliant charcter study, but it does drag quite a bit and will leave most viewers bored unless you are really into the art house type films. Also, do yourself a favor and don't look too close at the Spoiler heavy poster here.
