Damage

Another fine entry in the by now well-established subgenre of "Jeremy Irons gets laid with tragic consequences"-films. All around top flight acting, well handled by veteran Malle, although when the tragedy finally hit I had to stiffle a laugh. I don't know if this was because it was clumsily executed or because I'm such a monumentally terrible person. Possibly both.

What an intense movie : never bring your sexy girlfriend home to meet Dad.

What You Said: amazing. what great performances. it made me think for a very long time. it is very hard to show some very complicated feelings in humans also conflicts between them but this film actually nailed it!

- Hi, I'm your son's girlfriend. - Great, nice to meet you. [unconfortable silence] - Let's fuck. - Sure!

Amazing cast, too bad the story was pedestrian.

Weak thrillerish melodrama from Malle.

Very, very good. Individual plot points, which some find unconvincing, are of lesser importance than the glimpses we get of an obsessive passion over which the participants haven't much control. I can't imagine a better actor than Jeremy Irons as the lead--he portrays a man who keeps his fires of passion very well-banked superbly. Binoche is suitably impassive as she manages her double life. She and Leslie Caron make a striking mother-and-daughter. Bravo, Malle--and Jeremy Irons.

Where the hell was the buildup to the relationship between Binoche and Irons? This movie is too fucking French. Have sex first, ask questions never. Where’s the emotion? Binoche plays her part like a sociopath which completely dilutes any notions of guilt or remorse.

Undoubtedly well made, but just not my thing. I find Jeremy Irons difficult to enjoy. The climax in this film was well done, just way too melodramatic. But this film features one of the best uses of nudity I've seen: "Was this not enough for you?" *shows boobs*

Juliette Binoche is delicious in this steamy affair. Good premise, settings, story, music, film quality, and performances. A fairly well-polished movie. Lots of tension, sex, and sneaking around. I disliked the near-complete lack of words involved in starting the affair and sex scenes with Juliette acting like a ragdoll. Jeramy Irons was a bit blank. Miranda Richardson was remarkably good in her supporting role. Overall, its a twisted satisfying story.

They created this movie just to talk about Binoche sensuality, nothing else. And it was well done.

Louis Malle's second to last film, Damage lacks much of the subtlety found throughout his other works. This combined with a rather implausible plot and characters, Damage comes out as average despite its effective buildup of tension and payoff.
