Provocative and well-acted. This one's worth looking for.

Rated: 3.5/5

Village Voice

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.

An impressive achievement, one that combines terrific performances with a lovely storytelling style and themes and characters that actually matter.

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.

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...

Foreign, French. Good movie. About an on-again, off-again, lesbian couple. Slow in areas, but for the most part, a good movie.
