Le voyage en douce

A story about two women who take a journey through the countryside recalling sexual experiences and fantasies.

The movie comes across as an exploitive and not in a good way. I have seen these types of movies where it explores themes of sex, relationships and social issues. Sometimes, it makes a point and sometimes it does not. This film does not make a point.

The women characters in this film across as something to please the male viewer with the sex talk and nudity.

The movie is not about female friendships nor it is about women empowerment. So please don't compare this movie to Thelma and Louise.

The only good thing about this movie is the acting: Dominque Sanda and Geraldine Chaplin did well with the material. They carried this movie.

The bad: The first bathroom scene. It was creepy and pointless (judging by Chaplin's reaction, I get the impression she was not expecting it)

The Ugly: The fantasy about the grandmother.

Warning for anyone who has been a victim of sexual assault or knows someone who has There is an audio of rape played as the two main characters walked through the French countryside. I knew someone who was raped and It was unsettling listening to it.

This movie is sexual fantasy for men.
