User Review

Nice film

Rating:


The filming was very good, I really felt that I could feel Ann's
emotions. A lot of that had to do with the excellent acting. It was
also nice to see a lot of the actors, writers, director and producer.
But hands down Juliette Binoche stole the show. Great actress, and an
even better person. I would consider going to see this movie again. the
main reason is that even though the topic is a serious one, and at
times the movie does get a little dark and depressing the script allows
for some lighter moments which makes it more manageable. I really
laughed at times and at other times I felt very sad and bad for the
characters. This movie gives you a different perspective on the worlds
oldest profession. Initially I thought that this was a documentary, but
I quickly realized that it wasn't, never the less it was a very good
effort to capture something we don't see every day and as such have
difficulty understanding.
