I felt uncomfortable with the Huppert character a number of times, which was a bit of a challenge also, but it certainly all helped in maintain interest. One never knew where t was going to go next. Even though I had reservations it is one I'd like to see again, so which would then be with the benefit of hindsight, which may well be a good thing in giving some perspective. But I'm with you in viewing it as a curious film, and with some merit.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-18161555636941058872017-04-09T07:00:59.273-07:002017-04-09T07:00:59.273-07:00Ray,

However, it is still in my mind and Ms. Huppert was excellent in her part. Some film. I'm not sure if I should recommend to my sensitive friend Pat.<br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-56627284647851921052017-03-31T23:44:52.715-07:002017-03-31T23:44:52.715-07:00It's a pity, Ron, that when I know an animal f...It's a pity, Ron, that when I know an animal features in a film (any animal, pet or otherwise) it distracts me disproportionally from all the rest of what's going on. But it was always thus with me. Anyway, pleased that you at least now know that it won't get in the way of your enjoying this commendable film.Raybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424095016313843883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-40978275392815739412017-03-31T08:37:23.798-07:002017-03-31T08:37:23.798-07:00Ray,

Am of your "mental" too when it comes to cats or other pets featured in films. All too often they come to a bad end which I have no desire to see. <br />RonRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161930319264523497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926347286766677626.post-90811080232707401352017-03-31T00:25:41.074-07:002017-03-31T00:25:41.074-07:00I think you're going to like it, J.G.

Maybe you've seen him on some TV film?<br /><br />Isabelle H. takes on the part with confidence, and it's a tricky one to play. Might have been easier if she was simply playing victim but it's a more variegated role than that, and I have to say she does it magnificently, though if there's any weakness it's in the story and not in her performance.<br /><br />Must say part of me felt a bit silly in even mentioning the cat, but with similar-minded people like you around I feel better now.

Liked the film, but found the ending a little unbelievable. I also was apprehensive about the cat. paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085842904367441128noreply@blogger.com
