I liked the acting of Rosalie Thomass. And I can relate to her decision to venture to a faraway place in order to escape her messed up life. And the fact that she almost gave up, but decided at last moment to stay, to follow through. Kind of pivotal point in the character's life, suggesting that from now on she will take life seriously, she will show grit and not give in to easy temptations (like the one that ruined her almost marriage). Occasionally the character acts awkwardly (like bursting in tears, or not knowing how to sweep the floor). I think this is not unlike real life: people do behave awkwardly sometimes, or change their mind, or change their view of the world; all these apply to both main characters in the movie: the German young woman and the former geisha.
