"This movie always made me feel sorry for Emma Stone taking the Oscar, and not Isabelle Huppert."

“The thorniest, iciest character study I’ve seen in quite some time, and that isn’t a criticism. Elle is provocative material played with intelligence and chilling lack of emotional pity or yearning for sympathy. Talking about it feels like trying to navigate a minefield.
