There is a sophistication about affairs of the heart, about the wisdom and the risks of romantic involvement that is more than quintessentially French. It's irresistible as well.
Baye gives a stunning performance in the central role, backed by a first-rate supporting cast.
Director Tonie Marshall has taken a very simple story and laced it with potent details that make the film a rich map of her lead character's inner life.
A beautifully acted slice of intersecting lives defined and driven by the business of beauty.
It's hard not to feel empowered by Nathalie Baye.
A pretty good chronicle of a certain phase of French working-class life.
Warmed my heart about as much as the cold cream Angèle slathers all over her wrinkling clients.
