> 3 dayKind of has a basic there and back again plot. No character arcs. An arrogant exploration of banality. Might have been funny with an REM soundtrack, everybody hurts.... sometimes.... Instead they ripped off classical music.

> 3 dayThis 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.

Greater than one weekWell done and I enjoyed the unpretentiousness of the characters and film. I always like the French Movies as they say it like it is.

> 3 dayBrilliant! One magnificent scene after anther. Not for those who fear their own sexuality and sexual sensations. They go to outer-space flics that never threaten because they can never happen. Juliette Binoche gives another stunning performance in yet another powerful drama that is almost visionary.

> 3 dayAlmost interesting but the internal conflict with the main protagonist (played by Juliette Binoche) is poorly developed.

> 3 dayOK fellow movie fans, let me be honest with you, this movie is awful. If you feel that watching a woman get urinated on is art then this is a great film. I never understood why make these films when they are soft porn with a plot. Stick to the real thing if that is what you are after.

> 3 dayShes 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.
