Anais is forced to watch in silence, conspiring with the lovers, but harbouring jealousy and similar desires. Their actions, however, have unforeseen tragic consequences for the whole family. (imdb)

i don't think the particulars of this setup can be generalised into anything about the nature of 'love' (CB actually seems to think all romantic love fundamentally resembles elena's, which is... pretty sad), but the unflinching enaction of societally normalised rape is still bold and uncomfortable, even if the way she then uses a 'conventional' rape to hammer the comparison home is rather condescending. hard to believe reboux's acting career was done by the end of the year, she's so good here.

The story is well done and the acting over all works, I can't say it was well acted but the acting seems real. Overall the themes and how they were presented kept me intrigued. Okay the ending, now I kind of figured out how they were going to end this but it's the way the ending happened that I didn't like. The ending they chose was so stupid and out of place that I ending up dropping the rating quite a bit.

Well, I don't think it was 'boring' like a lot of people think. In my opinion, the characters are pretty well written and have a lot of depth to them, and it is a pretty relatable movie. I will admit that around the end of the movie, it was dragged out longer than it should have been and the ending was frankly insane. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though.

Water is turning into clouds in a very warm day, in which sensitive people feel nevertheless extreamly cold (they shiver), and they turn the AC on, they drink Tea with warm Blankets, to make it physical, to make it real. But then, the AC's water, they do not manage to transcend. They might cry.

Quaint little film, and the one I've enjoyed most from Breillat thus far. I don't know if 12 year olds should really be so worried about losing their virginity, but I guess that makes for a vastly more stunning grande finale for all the fucked people out there. The scene of driving was interesting, for all the slight events that are somehow elevated by the banality of the scene.

A sensitive and poignant character study with an absolutely WTF ending, which I reluctantly take a few points off for. Not that WTF things don't happen in real life, but as a resolution to the main narrative, it seemed forced and unsatisfactory. I'm interested in what goes through Breillat's brilliant and crazy head.

I'm not even offended by this ending. This has to be something Breillat didn't had in mind, I believe. And while I usually am a strong believer (like in a lot of other movies ranked here) that art is for questions and blanks to be power- and meaningful, progressive. A Ma Soeur just left me with a big void, I wasn't able to fill. Neither with intellect, schock, despair or joy. Maybe this is simply not a great movie for me, although it feels like one.
