Enjoyable and sympathetic film. Murder, like all things, is rather pedestrian.

My feelings towards this film is complicated. I liked it, but I also hated it. I found it hypnotic at times, but also very very boring. I guess this movie does a good job of putting you in the shoes of a miserable and lonely woman.

[Filmin] Cinema has these grandeurs. Now praised by Sight and Sound magazine, it provokes an incomplete but necessary retrospective on streaming platforms of a director who avoided the "feminist label" that was awarded to her. Her cinema is more than that, it's a humanist cinema that observes what the surface shows to investigate what happens inside. Even different from the rest of her filmography, the representation of daily actions causes memories and identification to emerge. Those "Jeanne moments" that appear in certain daily actions and that bring back scenes that you didn't know had remained so impregnated in your memory.

Put off watching this film for years as i knew it would be rubbish. But now it’s no. 1 on the sight and sound poll, i thought i’d slog my way through it. And yes it is trash. Critics and pretentious pricks can intellectualise it all they like but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s boring, insipid, vacuous trash. It’s garbage, just garbage. And if you like this film, im guessing u think the emperor’s new clothes look awesome too. Unless u want to watch it out of mete curiosity, avoid it like the plague. 1/10

Yes, it's 3 hours, but we have to forgive that it's from an era before MTV and the resulting cultural ADD. If I didn't know better, I'd think this was the inspiration for Aronofsky's Academy Award-winning film 'Black Swan (2010). Well, actually, I don't know better. Maybe it was.

There's a lot of much deeper things to say about this film and what it does and what it means, about the crushing routine of everyday life, about the nature of the worlds we live in, the stories we tell, but for now I just wanna say this movie is incredibly hypnotic and genuinely engaging and passes More
