Review
Actress-turned-director Virginie Thévenet takes an ironic look at the world of an outsider in this raw drama.  The film’s ugly presentation, lethargic pace and grotesquely caricaturised characters hardly endear it to its audience.  It’s a pretty indigestible film which wastes an awful lot of great acting talent.
