94 minute running time but I went to fast forward after 11 minutes … this was comically bad, very French … Juliette Binoche is beautiful and still looks pretty amazing for age 57, but dressing like a 17-year-old at 57 doesn’t work … she plays a super neurotic successful artist (er, painter of giant squiggly lines) who has a string of really repugnant “boyfriends” .. the movie is a series of completely pointless and annoying conversations, very French in other words.
She has a ten-year-old daughter we see only once and for five seconds (lives with Dad). Would a mother of a little girl behave like this? Gérard Depardieu shows up at the end to play a fortune teller for fifteen excruciating minutes. “I see someone new coming into your life, someone with a giant crooked nose.” Oh god this was awful.
Gay men inexplicably love everything that Claire Denis makes (yes, this was a Farr recommendation), but you should steer clear of this one.
Sandra Hall gets it right: “Juliette Binoche talkfest takes dive into the absurd” … “There's something morbidly compelling about the spectacle of such self-indulgence being allowed to run amok.”
From Deborah Ross’s review: “… everyone talks in endless circles, tiresomely and pointlessly.” How many French movies has she seen? lol
