The portrayal of the two main characters is well achieved... the dominant mother afraid of "losing" her daughter... the talented daughter who is emotionally unfit... and then all the consequences that such personalities could bring. The film turns around and you can't exactly know what the main player (an excellent Isabelle Huppert)is thinking of doing next. It is definitely a non-traditional film that you should see ideally with somebody who wouldn't be easily shocked (or disturbed) and with whom you may spend a while discussing it afterwards.
