Shows a beguiling aptitude for self-mockery in the pursuit of polemic.
So perversely enjoyable it gives the lie to her (Breillat's) image as a serious, politically incorrect purveyor of pornographic instincts.
By Breillat's usually dire standards, this is practically a laff riot, and if you want to see her funniest, most accessible movie, this is the one to watch.
It feels too self-satisfied, but the prickly personalities and relationships have the ring of experience.
The film's central flaw is that the characters are haphazardly developed, and don't come across as more interesting than the props.
A strange creature, a narcissistic mock documentary.
Annoying, soporific and singularly humorless.
