2.5/4
Exhibits a familiar trace of the Dardennes' observational astringency. Go to Full Review

The film's ideas are intriguing but Hattu, who makes his directing debut here and co-wrote the script, fails to completely bring his material into focus. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Apr 11, 2026 Interesting to watch, but damn if I understand what is the intended meaning. A prisoner in the French penal system encourages a lonely guard to start a relationship with his wife, who is waiting outside to complete his sentence. And then? Acting and cinematography are good.On Tubi. See more Oct 19, 2009 Kinky & just too weird for me. See more Jul 7, 2009 boring and artsy french drama. See more Nov 10, 2008 Average. Valerie Donzelli was wonderful. Only the bizarre relationships could have been more profound, in-depth, twist & turn rather than existing looks pretty flat when the facts disclosed in the middle. See more Nov 8, 2008 A fairly well made movie....realistic in the end....incorporating slip ups in life See more Nov 4, 2008 a practical excuse for some forbidden sex and suppressed low level S&M, Valerie Donzelli has her appeal though not particularly attractive, a pity that after a few flings, everybody is just back to square one, with practically nothing really happened (10/12/2008) See more Read all reviews
