Not convincing script
18 January 2022
I disagree with some of the reviewers that believe this film represents problems of aging. The Binoche character is not suffering from midlife crisis or loneliness after her divorce and getting dumped by a young lover, rather she is obviously mentally ill. Mentally she is so messed up that she is willingly hurting not only herself, but the subject of her affection and obviously her children. The script doesn't deal with her destructive behavior toward her children, when a fifty something year old mother keeps driving around a schools pick up area aimlessly because she is on the pretend phone call, this is mental illness and incompetence not looking for love.

And lastly I am getting tired of the use of social media as the main platform of story telling, probably it's hard to write a good story these days.
