Very interesting and grotesque character-study drama.
Very intriguing main character and an amazing portrayal by Isabelle Huppert, truly a great performance. A very damaged character displayed in a really realistic sort of way, in terms of the effects it has had on her and the way she deals with situations in her life.
A lot of wild scenes and this movie ain't scared of "going there" to get its point across.
Character dynamics are...interesting to say the least but they make a lot of brave choices that ends up fitting the movie well.
Movie looks great, scenes flow well together and acting is great across the board.
Perhaps I wish they would have spend a little movie time on individual story lines / character relations, as they introduce so many different plots and characters with different sort of relationships and not all of them has satisfying developments.
This also mean that the movie can be a tiny bit repetitive as the movie is quite long and there are a lot of similar scenes with similar purposes that tells us things we already know about certain characters. However, this isn't exactly a big problem as most of the scenes are really good and very entertaining in some way or form.
Movie has a very dark and dry sense of humor but it has it's purpose and the movie is actually really funny, if you can get its perspective.
Overall, while not a personal favorite, its a very good and interesting movie, for sure.
