Pseudo-art movie with long scenes of cars driving in the highway. Catherine Breillat hates men, women, sex and viewers of her films equally.

I don't really know what to make of Breillat. She can create rich, realistic characters and write engaging dialogue, which she does well here, but she can also wallow in the dregs of hollow provocation, which she also does here (but it's not as bad as it is in Romance). I wasn't impressed with the ending because it felt very cheap and its cynicism was juvenile, but the the build up to it felt very fresh and honest.

A deeply unsettling film that's unflinching in its honest depiction of budding sexuality. Breillat presents painful and cynical truths about how the need to be wanted, to be selected can distance us from a place of security and affection while simultaneously drawing us into a predatory world of exploitation and terror. It's a terrible world where love is synonymous with rape and rejection is a death sentence.

The dialogue is very genuine, and I like the dynamic between the sisters. The ending is abrupt, shocking, and perhaps irresponsibly incomplete.

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.
