4/10
A film with minimal plot, no point and (1 spoiler ahead)
7 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
....no resolution.

A generous, generous 4/10, because it's Christmas, Orthodox Christmas, but anyway.

The film is about a woman who tells her husband she's having an affair with another man. Their relationship deteriorates, it swings from hot to cold, he keeps his distance, gives her space, but they still live together, share a child and common friends. At the end he moves out, but comes by to see his kid. She tells him that she's no longer with the other man. That's the whole film.

There is no resolution to the film. The film is not about Anne's relationship with the other man (we never actually see him), but Anne's marriage with Pierre. Once she reveals the affair, the relationship sours. And it just stays sour until the end. She ends her affair, but Pierre remains in no man's land just as he was in the start, unloved by his wife and unsure what to do.

I'm not sure what the point of this film is, other than being some financial or tax scheme.

The acting is top notch, but where's the story? This film is like watching a 90- minute first act, with no second or third.
