i watched this movie because Isabelle Huppert is nominated for an Oscar for this role, and, although her performance was complex and enigmatic, I truly don't know how I feel about the movie. For me, the mystery about this woman was not resolved. There is a question throughout the movie as to whether she was a victim or complicit in the violence that surrounds her life. When the credits rolled I still had no answer, and when faced with rating the movie, I fluctuated between a 9 (intense and compelling) out of 10, and a 6 (ambivalent and unfinished). I've settled on the 6. Was she a survivor or a monster? Do we need to decide or just observe?
