5.0 out of 5 stars Subtle, thought-provoking characterisation, 21 Jul 2007
A woman smothers her daughter and kills herself on Christmas Eve - but the daughter is resuscitated and survives. Vanessa Paradis plays the girl as she leaves the orphanage where she has spent most of her life, to go and trace the events leading to up her mother's suicide and take revenge on her estranged father who she blames. However, it's not as easy as that as she begins to realise the "official" version of what happened is not necessarily true. I love this film, because it consistently shifts the viewer off balance just as Paradis's character shifts between resolution and doubt. Her performance is superb- she conveys a girl who is psychologically damaged, near psychotic, but not totally beyond redemption. She traces her father, Gerard Depardieu, to an island off Brittany where he is living as a drunken recluse. Hiding her true identity, she sets about her revenge - however, she is unprepared for the emotions that will be unleashed by meeting him, ranging from childish showy-offness to maliciousness to compassion. She also has to confront some new facts that will radically, and distressingly, alter her understanding of the past. Paradis conveys this complexity completely convincingly. Depardieu too, creates a believable and sympathetic character out of an unpleasant drunkard. The plot is melodramatic but serves as a vehicle for some subtle characterisation and that is where the strength of this film lies. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys character-led drama that gives you something to think about when the film is over.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charisma, 6 Sep 2008
Vanessa Paradis adds a charismatic presence to this absorbing film, which lives up to the best French cinema traditions. Depardieu is excellent too - as always. Elisa combines bits of light entertainment (such as the amusing shop-scam scene) with depth. As it nears the end, the possible outcomes become intriguing. There are a couple of subtleties I have not yet fathomed, despite two viewings, but I shall look forward to watching it yet again.

2.0 out of 5 stars not one of Gerard's best, 1 Feb 2009
The write up made it sound exciting, but sadly was mostly about a horrible teenager who tracks down Gerard. Gerard is falling out of pubs drunk in a yellow waterproof coat, mostly, or growling in his Fisherman's hut. Not one of his best films.
