Take the good with the bad.

I sat down to this film bracing myself for another hideously drawn out sermon disguised as a film but found myself unexpectedly engaged. I love the simple moral dilemma, the relationship between Jane and Eugène and the complex family dynamics that surface because of it. Overall; a very interesting script, perhaps a little rough around the edges but good.

However, it has to be said that the success of this film ends with the story. The shooting is maddeningly bland. Moments that are supposed to be tense fall flat and the lighting makes me feel like I'm watching a sitcom.

It's frustrating to see this interesting story so unskillfully portrayed. Some of it is just plain lazy. It was completely amateurish, entire steps in the production process were evidently skipped and hence this film is miles from looking cinematic.

Were this film done by a filmmaker with more vision it might have been marvelous but the story still shines through the crap and that makes it a worthwhile watch.
