    7/10
    Mixed but mostly good
    In this French film noir, a ship captain leaves his post to get revenge on behalf of his sister whose family has faced recent tragedies.

    This film is occasionally confusing but always intriguing thanks to the directing style of Claire Denis. At first, it is difficult to distinguish who's who partly because two characters look alike. There are also times it is hard to understand the motives and actions of the main character.

    Still, the intrigue seems to work especially with a plot twist followed by one of those endings that is shocking because one would not have expected the film to end at that point. This is one of the few films that gets away with this device.
