i totally disagree with the comments of one of the critics before me who bashed the film. having read the book and being impressed by it although this is a kind of literature that you cannot really like (similar to hubert selby writing) i expected being shocked but the effect was more subtle than this. isabelle hubert is a brilliant actress who manages to convey a multi layered character. there are many scenes that totally focus on her and her subtle changes and i can imagine few actresses who would do so well and with so much disregard for their own reputation or image. there is this coldness and distance and cruelty and at the same time there this helplessness and hurt and pain. there a person who in control and controlled at the same time. maybe this is not realistic  although when you read the newspaper you will read about much worse than this  but there a truth to it that is very difficult to bear. i think it an excellent film but i did not enjoy watching it. it not boring but there are times when i wished it would end. btw and her male counterpart is very well acted as well (and i think well chosen and too).

    If you feel the movie review is positive

    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
