Elles

It was NOT in English! ONLY SUBTITLES! I demand a refund!

I love the actress. I played on my lunch hour at work. Too racy for me. Would not buy it for my french collection.

a typical european film too long and boring at times. i will recomend this film to all who like drawn out foreign films

Shes courageous not because of the masturbation scene, obviously, this anyone can do nowadays, no more courage than to brush ones teeth on screen. Binoche is courageous because shes not afraid to appear on screen almost naked, and act frankly, darkly her own age. This film is not great, but its well shot, serious and not moralistic. Good movie, 4 stars.

Too pornografic.

I was disappointed because I thought that this was the critically acclaimed film by director Paul Verhoeven. I have little interest in films about young women selling their bodies and being star casted by sexually frustrated fashion magazine journalists. I have not finished the video and will not do so!

It wandered too much. I could not.get a good sense of who these characters were or their motivation.

Well done and I enjoyed the unpretentiousness of the characters and film. I always like the French Movies as they say it like it is.

This movie presents the lives of some students that struggle to have the life they want in the middle of a wealthy society. They are presented with the options of a hard life doing waitressing or boring jobs getting a pay that does not allow them to build their life, or to render their services to men that are willing to reward them in more ways than money can do. This is a hard thing to present in front of our hard coded values. It is the difference between being exposed to landlords that want to abuse them for no pay, to live in unsafe neighbourhoods or to explore other avenues. All of this for a woman (Juliette Binoche) that feels neglected by her husband, overwhelmed by her housewife duties and at the same time producing an article for a magazine the famous Elle magazine about students that become call girls. Confronting this reality and her own boredom, frustration and sadness makes her reevaluate her life and her options. The end shows something that maybe is not what we want but many times it becomes what it is. The movie is very well acted and directed and addresses these very difficult topics in a caring way. I may disturb some people as some views may show a reality that some may not want to see.

This film is pointless, pornographic, and also boring. It is surprising that such an elegant and accomplished actress as Binoche would allow herself to be viewed so unflatteringly. What a waste of her talents!
