There is a big hype about this movie but honestly I don't get that. It is boring as hell, the story line is thick as a strand of hair, so you watch a very long movie with no meat to make it worth and interesting.
The acting is however very good specially from the main actress who is always competent on any movie she works. Still, there were people snoring in the movie theatre during the session that I watched. There was zero tension for me throughout the movie and I as waiting for a big surprise, a twist, a new element to bring the drama to the next level but it remained in the shallows. To me the fuss about this film is because it is feminist and directed by a woman and because the French press and critics love French movies, which helped to catapult this film in Cannes. But it's dull.
