Well I am annoyed. Just watched the movie, and what was a pretty good film had a really crappy ending. Toni is a real hypocrite and total bitch in the movie, you really want her utter snobbery to be her undoing. Problem with trying to make a movie like French Cinema, is that it is unsatisfying for an American audience. The ending is plain bad. I gave the movie a 6/10, that seems fair to me, since it goes nowhere and the ending is just not good. Really annoys me to see a good movie end so badly. Worth watching for Harvey Keitel, but I totally hated the character Toni Collete is playing, she is without mercy and an utter snob. Ironic that she claims to be a Democrat in the movie. The Director should have delivered a better ending. Can't believe that's it.

This movie could have been something truly amazing but it just seems to limp along without much focus at any of the main plot points. The only saving grace was the dead pan wit and charm of Rossy de Palma.

Infidelity, lies, and 'putting on appearances' is at the centre of this film. No one is who they appear to be. A woman craves for attention, another lets her husband have an affair to confirm his dedication to her. An older man seeks solace without pressure. What we can first perceive as a true love soon manifests into one of shallow fancy, carried by whim and ended with a truth.If you want to see a stereotypical love affair with cute tied up with a ribbon ending, do not watch this film, If you are open to the reality of life, then this is one for you.

I started it because I love almost everything that Toni Colette does, and Harvey Keitel is also usually worth seeing. But in this movie, Rossy de Palma steals it (not to imply that Colette disappoints). Only an '8' because it's overly brilliant in any single regard (cinematography or dialogue or directing or whatever). But it is definitely more than adequate in every aspect. de Palma is fascinating to watch, and you really - unlike in so many other movies -do want to find out how it ends.

This is totally a Rossy de palma's Movie. She takes the cake with her awesome performance be it the comic timing or the seriousness of her character. Toni and Harvey fo good jobs in their roles. But sadly the ending was too disappointing. I mean it could have been better. Overall worth a watch though.
