Claire Denis directs Juliette Binoche, Xavier Beauvois and Philippe Katerine in this Parisian drama about a single woman bouncing haphazardly between imperfect men.

We open on a flattering shot of Binoche’s beautiful face and breasts. Everything goes downhill from there. How could a movie made by women come across as so misogynistic in its portrayal of their lead’s weakness and uncertainty, gullibility and lack of self worth? I don’t know… just listen to the pretentious Frenchies talk…and talk… dull-ly… on and on… well past the credits… with nothing to say.
