A pretty unique movie with especially a unique protagonist. I liked it, but it had some really out of place moments as well, and it felt kinda unaccomplished at the end. Overall good though.

i watched this movie because Isabelle Huppert is nominated for an Oscar for this role, and, although her performance was complex and enigmatic, I truly don't know how I feel about the movie. For me, the mystery about this woman was not resolved. There is a question throughout the movie as to whether she was a victim or complicit in the violence that surrounds her life. When the credits rolled I still had no answer, and when faced with rating the movie, I fluctuated between a 9 (intense and compelling) out of 10, and a 6 (ambivalent and unfinished). I've settled on the 6. Was she a survivor or a monster? Do we need to decide or just observe?

What the hell with French people?! Are all of them as crazy as these ones? The plot is good but how it was developed is not. Isabelle Huppert did a remarkable job as this mad woman who seems not to be able to overcome her past traumas. But the story, the characters, I mean... how is it possible that almost all characters behave this unreasonably. And it feels a bit long too.

I love French movies. They are so different but interesting. This movie is crazy as is good.

Bizarre but utterly compelling. Huppert is magnifique.
