This isn't my kind of film so I admired rather than enjoyed it. It's beautifully played, especially by the wondrous Kristin Scott Thomas, one of the Britain's most underrated actors. Writer/director Phllippe Claudel keeps it real - just as you feel it's about to veer off into cliched melodrama it instead continues along the straight and narrow, eventually getting to the heart of the matter. I found the ending unsatisfactory, though without negating anything that had gone before. And just how many quality adult films are there with two women in the lead?
