For me, it was mandatory to watch this movie. On the one side, I like Binoche, and on the other, I like to see French movies. Now, this movie is an exception and an enormous disappointment! Dialogs between Alice and Martin are as flat as one can imagine, the dramatic content of the movie reduces to that of a daily soap opera. Then, on top of that, or maybe just because the maker of the movie himself felt that things are kind of slow-going, just concentrated on showing Binoche in scenes like from the fashion magazine (for the ones who saw it: that scene before she entered the psychic clinic). All in all, Binoches excellent appearance is reduced to a farce, and not even the more natural acting of Matthieu Almaric as Benjamin could save this movie going under like the big old Titanic.
I was glad when this movie was over; only the delighted memories of "The English Patient" or "the Unbearable Lightness of being" remain.
