    The premise was enticing, but the presentation was not engaging. Most of the time the script called for the actors to portray the emotional range of a tomato, and they delivered.

    One of the most insufferable movies I've ever sat through half of. Was this a comedy? It certainly wasn't dramatic.

    wow I saw this on IFC and this movie had such a good bulid up all the way for the last scene and it payed off, yes you cant watch if you have the attention span of a 3 year old but overall I loved this film and is one of my all time favs.

    So perversely enjoyable it gives the lie to her (Breillat's) image as a serious, politically incorrect purveyor of pornographic instincts.

    It captures both the exhilaration and tedium of the filmmaking process--and of looking for and finding passion wherever it might be.

    It opens fissures through which we can glimpse oddities and strains in film directing and acting.
