First of all, this is a movie based on an excellent play of Michel Tremblay. Even if the direction of Andre Melancon and Martine Beaulne did not distanced itself enough from the play to make this movie a little different than the play, it is still one of the best screenplay on woman that you could ever find. You literally see what life, the ups and downs of it, can do to one woman. Albertine is interacting and talking to herself from 30 to 70 years old and her sister who had it easy compared to her. The movie is portraying duel of her happy against her bitter, her sad against her idealistic and so on... Touching and overpowering!
