Juliette Binoche is brilliant!

This film is purely meant to entertain, and that it does! While it won't be winning any Oscars this year, it will certainly bring a smile to your face! One of Juliette Binoche's most interesting roles in recent years. Take a chance on this one! You won't regret it.

Hmmm?

Set in an interesting time of the French history, that must be the only interesting part of the story. Actors are okay but the message is ridiculous.

May 68 in a girls' boarding school in Alsace.

May 68 is an important moment of the history of France !! The young girls are listening to Ménie Grégoire who speaks to the French women about their body and their sexuality !!

Sincerely this is not the best one of juliette Binoche, but it's also not the worst of Juliette Binoche !! I enjoy especially the beginning when Juliette Binoche explains the rules for being a good wife, some other moments are simple or too caricatural and again we have some funny moments. And one positive point: the friendship between women.

Why

I can see no reason why this movie is made. No relevance at all

I don't understand... lot of money for what ? A good network with Télérama to apply lobby !
