101 minute running time … this was terrible … the only good thing about it was seeing the very handsome Chiara Mastroianni (Marcello, her dad, and Catherine Deneuve, her mother) but that was it … DUMB story with a really SORDID ending, just awful. Why do people like John Farr love Claire Denis so much? It wasn’t even well edited, just a mess. “Moody neo-noir,“ no, “dark thriller,“ no, “riveting tale of perversion and vengeance,“ no and no, it’s just shit.

Xan Brooks gets it: “I had the sense that Denis's painstaking approach was little more than an act of concealment; that her actual story was thin and tacky and that her elaborate style was precisely that.“
