I checked this film out because it was classified as "new French extremity" by some sources. It was clearly made to shock the layman, as it's packed with sex and violence. Initially I thought this was the reason behind the negative reception, so I gave it a chance. However, for me the problem was with very bad directing and acting; I can ignore the shock value, I just find it a tasteless, sloppy, unmemorable, amateurish piece of work.
Review of Baise-moi
Baise-moi
(2000)
Packed with graphic content, but very sloppy and of little artistic value
