An enigmatic love story of John and May, that spans over a century. Based on the novella by Henry James Beast.

Hollywood Reporter

The action, to use the term loosely, takes place over 25 years. And it feels like it.

[A] distinctive, if slightly over-long, adaptation...

Chiha has a strong eye and ear for detail, and each needle drop provides somewhat of a chronological frame to guide us through the atemporal arena of the film.

There are some faults to this... Yet one can’t help but be beguiled by the mise en scène sensuously lensed by Céline Bozon, an aesthetic miasma that aches even as the languorous camera itself doesn’t.

Chiha’s script, co-written by Jihane Chouaib and Axelle Ropert, retains the same sense of reticent ennui from the James’ text, but updates it with subversive fervor.

Rated: 3.5/5
