Review of Comedy of Innocence

Spoiler warning. I think. Not sure, really. ANYway, there's this woman and her kid, and the kid starts pretending (or does he?) that someone else is his mother. This other mother had a kid who died, you see. Is she mad? Is the other kid the reincarnation of the first kid? In true French-movie style, our heroine invites the mad woman into her home instead of reporting her to the police. And she tries to seduce our heroine's brother, though rather half-heartedly. Our heroine's husband is away on indeterminate business, and the film seems to be implying that if he were here everything would be okay. Hmmmm... Meanwhile the kid has a video camera and the au pair keeps throwing seven with her dice. None of this adds up to much. The film ends. The seasons change. We grow old. We die. I wonder why I spent good money on this mildly creepy but ultimately inane "thriller".
