A pretensious film is ok with me if its good , a bad + pretentious film is not good!
The lead actress had a nice face , but which drama school she learned those facial expressions from is very questionable.
A story would have helped even if it was a bad one.
The worst film I have seen in ages on the brighter side it provided me with the much needed sleep in between some good films.

If you've seen a French drama before you'll know not to expect bells and whistles, just a quiet portrayal of life. There was plenty to read into (her perfectly sealed yet unused house, putting herself in the bin, the tables turning with the stalker) which the audience would have noticed if they weren't waiting for big explosions the whole time.
