> 3 dayWhatever the implications and motivations are, Elles—the female form of they in French—doesnt spell them out, preferring to let us draw our own conclusions. The reductive suggestion that all women are whores and all men essentially johns certainly plays in here, but the film is more complicated than that, recognizing that sex itself is complicated, a once-simple evolutionary imperative thats now tangled up in the web of human consciousness. In its non-procreative form, its ideally a mutual expression of love, but the film portrays its darker side as a commodity to be bought and sold. A power to wield. A source of frustration and a vessel for misplaced desire. This might be nothing new, but Małgorzata Szumowskas provocative treatment of the topic makes Elles worthwhile, and something more than just a showpiece—which it also is—for Juliet Binoches significant acting abilities.

> 3 dayGut wrenching performances for any women who has ever felt caged in by a marriage. The expectation of devotion to a husbands career and child rearing can be totally stifling to personal development and lead to painful resentment so magnificently portrayed by Anais Demouslier. A five star performance!

> 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.

Greater than one weekEnjoyed the movie. Lot of porn, but not bad. Great acting, interesting characters, empty lives like many of ours. Every one tries to find meaning about their lives. Some succeed, many dont.
