A pretty unique movie with especially a unique protagonist. I liked it, but it had some really out of place moments as well, and it felt kinda unaccomplished at the end. Overall good though.

i watched this movie because Isabelle Huppert is nominated for an Oscar for this role, and, although her performance was complex and enigmatic, I truly don't know how I feel about the movie. For me, the mystery about this woman was not resolved. There is a question throughout the movie as to whether she was a victim or complicit in the violence that surrounds her life. When the credits rolled I still had no answer, and when faced with rating the movie, I fluctuated between a 9 (intense and compelling) out of 10, and a 6 (ambivalent and unfinished). I've settled on the 6. Was she a survivor or a monster? Do we need to decide or just observe?

Ass-wiping-piece-of-crap-movie glamorizing rape, violence, mutilation, stalking... It is not doing any good for anybody! NO woman (with brains) would ever find this movie sexy! The first and the last 10 minutes was the only thing realistic in this movie.... YUCK! The director and the whole movie tea More
