6/10
Furious Chantal Akerman
1 February 2019
The cinematography and the editing are great and stylish

It's overlong. 150 minutes would be enough for that content

Delphine is great but the character she plays isn't likeable or relatable at all

She acts like a mentally ill person and her behavior is not convincing and we don't know why she is a prostitute. Belgium is a very good place in terms of women's rights after all even in the 70's better than most countries

The ending wasn't realistic at all

Her son was spoiled and annoying. He couldn't even clean up his own shoes

If you want to watch a better Feminist film then watch Utopia (1980) by underrated persian director Sohrab Shahid Sales which is way more realistic but has similar settings
