    Boring male bashing piece
    Its 2 hours and 30 minutes long and should have been half that. The film ultimately becomes a rorschach test of your own feelings. It takes too long to arrive at a conclusion and misleads you all the way frustratingly.

    I found myself angry at the writer/director/producer who takes you on a endless rollercoaster without providing a conclusion or the reasoning behind it. Imagine being part of a lawsuit where the judges never explain their reasoning.

    Read subtitles was hard enough. Its in French and it was hard to understand the nuisances they were trying to convey.
