10/15/2016 Has a chronological sequence of well directed and well acted scenes from the life surrounding one troubled girl. There's often a lot of time elapsed between scenes, so there's clearly much we don't see too so it can feel quite detached at times. See more 01/15/2016 Following on from 'What Maisie Knew' we watched this, another tale of a small child neglected by its parents. The focus is on the mother here, though, and her father, a truck driver. Unusual in that this is a slice of French working-class life, told in a way that doesn't condescend. It's a powerful tale of a crazy girl who is carried away by her passion, and is redeemed by her father's love, and her own love of her sister.

Quillevere ne retient que les tuiles pour etablir la durete de son cinema social (la passion est toujours ephemere et amere), on aurait aime qu'elle creuse plus les liens entre ses protagonistes...

Et la force, la véritable, d'un film comme celui-ci, aussi simple soit-il, c'est de s'en rappeler longtemps après le visionnement. See more 11/21/2013 The story of a young French girl named Suzanne, her family life and a passionate troublesome love affair. Quillévéré is widely non-judgemental in his portrayal of the characters, despite their imperfections and the titular character's stubbornness and irreparable constant lenience towards wrong decisions. Much can be said about the film's pace, which is quite fast and doesn't give enough time for the viewer to fully establish an emotional connection to the story and let the events sink in. However, Suzanne's great asset lies in its cast's great and heartfelt performances. Sara Forestier is particularly impressive as Suzanne, a character that can quite frankly be described as a lovable deficient, in a poignant portrayal that sees her as constantly losing all her own battles almost on purpose.
