First of all, I really wanted to like this film, I think her previous movies, without being masterpieces l, all had something interesting to say.
The fact this movie represents France for the Oscars is beyond my comprehension. The actors are terrible, the script doesn't make any sense and the direction is laughable.
The prologue is pointless and bring nothing to the story. Alice Diop doesn't care about the story nor the trial.
Making such a manichean film shows how lazy she is. I know french cinema is in a major crisis for several years but there were at least a dozen much better productions this year.
