“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was directed by Laurent Cantet, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it seems that Cantet tried this time to mix ‘Entre les murs’ with ‘Swimming Pool’ but even though this mix did have some potential, it never really worked though. Indeed, it did lean towards the hyperrealism displayed in ‘Entre les murs’ but, eventually, they didn’t spend enough time with any of the characters, even with Antoine and Olivia, to really get to know them. There was also the issue that I didn’t care much about any of the characters involved.

"French drama about a group of students working on a novel with an award-winning author, when she starts to notice one of her students with a particularly dark idea that could be linked with his own life. This incredibly relevant drama has terrific performances from all and a story that is both interesting and chilling. It is also beautifully shot and handles the subject matter without glamourising or glorifying. "
