A beguiling comedy from a Marxist-inflected thesis that is filled with characters who rage against the machine with pessimism, optimism, and navet (C)"sometimes in rotation. Go to Full Review Jay Antani Boxoffice Magazine 12/07/2007

06/18/2010 A story that mix, love, doubts, reality and the fact of being sick of society and the stuff that are around us... quitting all that is easy, quitting love, not. Wonderful acting, i loved it. See more 05/05/2010 2 women, with opposite lifestyles, are in love with each other....and deal with realism See more 10/26/2008 Pas de noirceur attendue, pas de cliches a deux balles sur la marginalite, pas de non dits utopistes non plus. Finalement un voila un film courageux et parfois subtil... See more 09/07/2008 I really like all the characters and how they represented very well their different and complemented perspectives of life. Beautiful ending also! See more 06/20/2008 Foreign, French. Good movie. About an on-again, off-again, lesbian couple. Slow in areas, but for the most part, a good movie. See more 06/02/2008 Very interesting story about love and beliefs in life. See more Read all reviews
