What we have here is the type of waffle that people believe is a story of love and undying devotion.
However, what we have here is a story about how lives built on fear and lies, will not work out for the best for anyone, ever, in the end.
The acting was passable. Depicting a coward and a control freak were good roles for the two lead actresses.
Reading all the starry eyed reviews that believe they have a clue about true love, I thought I would watch it, it had every chance of being a well done scenario about the particular theme - two older women who are in love and have been for a long time. However, in this film, in this day and age, they choose to keep the issue secret from the world, rather, scuttling across hallways in the same block of apartments to meet and share life together.
Held in France, where, forgive me, the last time I went to France absolutely no one gave a flying sock whether people were gay, kissing openly in the street to say goodbye for work, kissing openly at croissant breakfast bars in Paris, holding hands, hugging, gazing... you get the picture.
So here we have a movie about a couple of woman where one was once married and had children. She's too afraid to reveal to her children who are all grown up big people who I'm sure can handle it, that she in a deeply committed relationship with a woman, and so, all the lies that commit stupidity and also crimes, begins. Apparently, in this film, being 'in love' gives someone the right to destroy a parked vehicle and destroy someone's job - but sadly, reviewers here see this as 'love'. If hiding, sneaking around and lying constantly, destroying property and others people's incomes is love, then I'm a monkeys ass. I thoroughly dislike this type of twaddle dressed up as devotion. A pair of more self absorbed, insular women would not be nice to know and I disliked this movie because it did nothing at all to serve true love of any type or gender.
