    Two people who are madly in love with each other can do anything just to keep from being separated. Especially lesbians.

    Was really taken in by the performances and the natural flow of the story. Devastating at nearly every turn but never in a melodramatic way.

    French lesbian movies are my kryptonite. Gimme an endless supply of these films and yet I still wouldn’t be happy as it’s still not enough. I saw someone liken this to Amour, and that is so apt, it’s literally a lesbian version of that movie. Heartfelt, touching,…

    A sad and emotional movie, it is quite slow paced and has a fairly simple plot Really makes you think about how you have only one life, you must spend it loving who you want out loud because one day it may be too late. 6.5/10

The drama builds and builds until the last seconds and never really lets up. It’s a striking debut from Meneghetti, in his first feature film.

The revelation here is Chevallier—or, to quote the end credits, “Martine Chevallier of the Comédie Française”—as Mado. Watch her watching the people around her, after the languid strength of her body has failed. Some of them discuss her as if she were absent, or dead, but her sharp blue eyes, following the action, and almost filling the movie screen, show that her wits are intact. So is her force of will. She’s all there.
