Although set in the 21st century, the film is about the macho and mysoginistic French society in the 50s and 60s. (And very likely, at that time, life was unfair to women in other parts of the - so called civilized - world too.) I applaud the women movement that had to go a long way and still needs to.
The acting was good - the two actors put in a commendable performance.
On the other hand, the film has many disturbing moments and is done to be a cookie-cutter tear-jerker, all the way until the very predictable (and highly unbelievable) end.
I'm all for the women movement, but, in the 21st century, this movement deserves a more nuanced film.
