Audience Member Between 2.5 and 3. Difficult to valorate. In the first part, there is little psychological explanation about the characters. In the second, you feel empathy by this woman, but you regret decisions which, being legitimate (most of them), you feel that could be others and life of everybody would not become so complicated. Kristin Scott Thomas is marvelous, as usual. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Intense and impressive portrayal of a woman who goes so far blinded by love, all thanks to Kristin Scott Thomas. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't quite understand the hate that this film got from users and critics alike. Kristin Scott Thomas has landed in a number of French dramas and this is her best performance. The entire cast actually is excellent at keeping the tension level appropriate leading to a thrilling end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Scott Thomas gives a great performance but the film is to short and too black and white. The hubby is a baddie - she a goodie etc BUT its still a great drama with a terrific little ending Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member ...passionate and honest ~ this is a story of an uncontrolled attempt to bring love and passion into an unhappy life. Boredom and sexual frustration have taken Suzanne (Kristin Scott Thomas) to a level that even she does not realise, until the rogue Ivan (Sergi Lopez) appears in her life, and unleashes a passion and desire that goes beyond all reason and thought. Samuel (Yvan Attal), Suzanne's successful husband, who comes across as 'run of the mill' spouse, is unable to pacify his wife's feeling in any way, and is forced to step aside as Suzanne, leaving him and their two children, leaves them for Ivan. The story isn't a happy one for Suzanne and Ivan, as they cannot support themselves, and are forced in desperate measures. Not a happy film, but a good one, and very real. It does not attempt to 'sugar coat' any of the bitterness that surfaces between Suzanne and Samuel. Kristen Scott Thomas is clearly as good an actress speaking in french, and, as always, produces an excellent performance. Enjoyed it... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Not quite the standard affair story given it explores the desperation to stay together despite being financially cut off by the more powerful hurt party. The greatest achievement is its emphasis on realism. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
