Audience Member Un seul mot : mièvre ! Marguerite s'est retournée dans sa tombe. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Feels much longer than it's actual length. Very slow moving, which isn't always a bad thing, but in this case it is just that unfortunately. The story is a bit everywhere too. I rated it three stars because I've an emotional attachment to Duras' "The Lover" and this film interested me mainly because of that, also the scenery and cinematography is beautiful in this film and it's an aesthetic joy to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Le roman de Marguerite Yourcenar portà (C) à l'à (C)cran par un des cinà (C)astes cambodgiens les plus connus. Adorant Isabelle Huppert depuis toujours je ne peux dà (C)tacher mon jugement de son interpretation, excellente. Un bon film, qui reflète bien la duretà (C) des temps passà (C) pour certains colons comme pour les populations indigènes... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Authentic portrayal of colonial Cambodia with fantastic scenery, direction and performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A rather hollow film set in 1930s French Indo-China that ticks the boxes for realistic sets, colonial rule, racial tensions, and decent acting but fails to bring them all together in a cohesive whole. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member ZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZzZz *is it over already?
