This film is annoying and totally uninteresting from beginning to the end. Between the inaudible remarks of the main actress diaphanous insignificant and aesthetically disgusting (it makes a little think of a praying Mantis straying frigid lost), the scenario without tail nor head and a story that makes no sense, the title " perverse games of a tormented pseudo-bourgeoise"would be better suited to all this waste of time and money. Really, this film held a selection rank at the Cannes Film Festival? It is pathetic
I'll just start with saying this is one of the worst films I have seen in the last two years. This entire movie looks and feels like it was written as some half-assed 50 Shades-ish Wattpad fic of which the writer only wrote it to get off to. Whoever wrote this definetely has no knowledge at all about mental illnesses or therapy. The plot twist at the ending felt rushed and made no sense.

Didn't have any intention of writing a review, but is anger that makes me spend a few minutes of my time for this rubbish i have just watched.The ending of the film is so ludicrous, that i have just appreciated the ending of Lost(and i didn't like it at all).When you want to make your audience open their mouths from surpise by the twist in the story that you have just gave them,well the twist must be credible and it has to relate with previous scenes of the film(the ending of the Sixth Sense is a perfect example).But here the twist in the story is so ridiculous that you actually wonder if the director believes that he's adressing 3 year-olds.Anyway when a film ends and you catch yourself asking which scenes were true and which were fantasies of the leading actress(Marine Vacht), well you come to realize that something went very wrong.The film also has a lot of sex scenes but after watching it i fully understand why,when the story is so weak the oldest trick in the book is to serve a lot of nudity to viewers.I will stop here,i hope that if you watched it, you didn't pay any of your money like me.

Unintentionally funny.
When Chloé attends her first psychiatry session and describes her symptoms, I was crying out for the psychiatrist to reply: "Miss, the problem is that you are too French!" (At the very least, he should have prescribed an enema.)
That really is the high-point of this film.
Trying to work out what is going on, what is or is not real, then being presented with "the truth" at the end, adds up to a disappointing journey to a disappointing destination. To paraphrase Albert Camus: imagine having to sit though that again! Non, merci.

Mr Ozon needs to come up for air....what utter trash he served up here, from the opening scene close up of a moist vagina, through the interminable nudity and sex scenes, none of them contributing ANYTHING to the plot, to the convoluted and absurd story line, this was one epic loss of time! I only persisted with seeing this ridiculous garbage to the end because I wondered how many Skoda cars the producers had contracted as product placement. What a joke! The best one is, of course, that the film got some awards, hahah!
It has been 2 days and I still think about it and get mad how stupid this movie was. It is like they started with a story, built it up, you keep guessing what it is and then they said "screw this" and ended the movie. It is a waste of time. A really clever and surprising scenario could've been built on it but instead they said let's just make the viewer feel like what they watched all along was pointless. I don't think I ever hated a movie this much.
