Rather disappointed by this film, I have never read the novel so I would not be able to judge its adaptation, but I finally found the film quite flat and long unfortunately, Josephine Japy who plays the main character does not seem quite right to me. Fact in the project, the chemistry between the two actors is non-existent, I had a lot of trouble believing their story especially with the little time they share together on the screen, well the character of the father seems to me to be interpreted well enough but at times the character's diction seems to me exaggerated and incomprehensible or even inaudible, the realization does not show much imagination, with a lot of eclipse that could have perhaps been shown on the screen by the passage of time instead of a banal under the title "2 weeks later" or "5 winters later". The moral of the story is eagerly awaited which is surely normal for a book over a century old but the script brings it to a very agreed upon way and seen thousands of times. The landscapes are quite beautiful even if we do not really see their immensity which could have made us perhaps more feel the loneliness and isolation of Eugenie.

An impressive thriller with a remarkable performance by Pierre Niney, the pace is breathtaking, the production filled with good ideas.

This Film has nothing to envy to the English or American thriller, while having a very French and identifiable touch.

The love triangle is so toxic and bland, hopefully Cillian Murphy come back quite quickly from the war, because he is the only one with an interesting backstory. The other characters are just boring. Sienna Miller is a great actress but there is nothing to play for her or for Keira Knightley. Don't talk about Dylan, he is the most boring and unlikable character i ve ever seen. When I first saw the picture of the movie with Cillian Murphy and Keira knightley I was expecting an Atonement bis but not at all, Atonement is way better than this. Very disappointed.
