Vicky Krieps gives an intelligent, finely calibrated and sensitive performance in this marital-breakdown drama from writer-director Anna Cazenave Cambet. Krieps mimics the author’s elegant, close-cropped hairstyle in the film’s final act, and is never anything other than excellent. In its moment-by-moment transcription of the crushing banality of this kind of injustice, the film is offering a bitter slice of life. Perhaps there could be another story to tell – perhaps even a sympathetic story – about the pathos of Laurent and his suspicions. This is an intelligent, sophisticated, sensual movie that never quite arrives at the explosively passionate moment it appears to promise.
