Biopics generally make the best films lately even if like I , you knew nothing of the real story in the first place .

Good lead performances by KK & SW - the story is told with a modern slant with female power both from her emergence as the actual writer of her husbands success and her being love interest of the American who shared her bed with both parties .

Although set in Paris you'd actually believe this was about an English couple as the authenticity of their language or accent were too deficient sadly .

It was a power game , a power game between greedy publishers and their writers and between a husband and wife where the real talent had to be hidden due to the world they lived in but she overcame .

The story somewhat reminded me of the female artist who painted her characters with larger than life eyes while her husband took the credit .

A film that you can wait for it to come to small screen and still enjoy
