Professional  jealousy and reluctance to accept her age starts to irk Maria and she starts to behave like the character 'Helene' as she takes up her anger and frustration over her loyal partner and assistant Valentine [Kristen Stewart].
#POSITIVES.
1. An extremely matured and intelligent screenplay and an equally ripe direction.
2. The plot seems so realistic and everything about the story is sharp yet subtle.
3. The movie is carried on the shoulders of three immensely talented actresses ,Jullieta Binoche,Kristen Stewart and Chloe Grace Mortez.It's a real contest between the ever green Julieta with the new generation stars like Kristen and Chloe.
4. An intriguing climax which will make you fully satisfied.
5. Great locales and top class cinematography.
#NEGATIVES.
1. A complex subject and a serious story telling without any sort of commercial factors can be dragging for some.But if you like serious cinema there is no better choice than this one.
