      Audience Member Frenchie's typical long-drawn-out narrative once again. This time, fortunately enough, with quite an interesting yet realistic story backdrop in premise; with compelling acting leading by Laura Smet (way much better than she is in < La Demoiselle D'honneur >). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member C'est le cote physique des relations qui est decrit dans ce film, qui fait ce film, et c'est d'ailleurs fort interessant vu le scenario ; mais quant au dramatique, justement, du scenario, il etait tout de meme presomptueux de faire abstraction du sentiment. Il n'occupe en effet presque aucune place, dans aucun des personnages : par exemple, la presence de Paul au chevet de Charlotte semble provenir de sa volonte charitable et de son courage (ou de sa compassion) a ne pas abandonner sa compagne dans des moments difficiles, et non de son amour pour elle ; de meme, celle de Ninon est plus due a son devoir de cousine et d'ancienne amie, et, pire, a son desir, concupiscent, de cotoyer Paul, qu'a son attachement pour Charlotte. Et tout le film est ainsi, le point d'orgue en etant l'improbable partie a trois, improbable compte-tenu des griefs et de la mefiance entre les personnages : ce n'est pas que le physique prend le dessus sur le sentiment, la, il l'abolit completement. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
