Elles n'oublient jamais

Let's be honest, this is a film I sought out solely because Nadia Farès, who captivated me in The Crimson Rivers, stars in it. She has something to do with Rachel Weisz, but moreover, she also speaks French. She looks good in this film, and we get to see quite a bit of her in it. The film follows in the footsteps of American thrillers from the late 80s and early 90s. It incorporates infidelity into the main plot and explores the consequences that follow, with a child at the center to add the right emotional charge. Unfortunately, in terms of intensity, the scenes aren't particularly strong; it's more about waiting than anticipating. Simply put, this film isn't suspenseful, and in the end, it isn't very intense in its storytelling either. (05.02.2014)
