Storyline

- Trivia"L'attesa" is a period of time whose duration is unknown and therefore it symbolizes a real act of faith. In this case, this act for Anna and Jeanne consists in waiting for the return of Giuseppe, the son of Anna and Jeanne's boyfriend, with the difference that the first knows the truth, while the second lives in the mystery. The return of Giuseppe takes on the meaning of a miracle. The song "Waiting for the miracle" emphasizes this detail.
- GoofsAbout one half hour into the movie Binoche cracks an egg into a frying pan, thereby breaking the yolk. However, when she serves it to her son's girlfriend the yolk is whole.

Featured review
Too slow, borderline unwatchable. It's 100 minutes but it felt at least 150. It should have been at least 20 minutes shorter. The worst thing is that it plays like a mystery, and there are no mysteries here, even though director tries hard to make it a bit enigmatic and cryptic. If it was a "pure" drama movie, without the "mystery" element, it could have been a good, even great. Because there are positives here, it's well acted and well directed. Juliette Binoche is so charismatic that she almost turns this boredom into an interesting movie. Furthermore, cinematography is nice and overall, movie's technical aspects are above average.
Yet, it's a failure. This could have been good because Binoche's motives for doing what she did, are crystal clear to me. I understood what she's going through and why she behaves like this. But still, the mystery element is unnecessary.
Ending was great.
