Synopsis
Camille is an emancipated 30-something woman who has no desire to settle down and have a family, preferring to coast along on a succession of ephemeral relationships and one-night stands. However, her lifestyle fails to satisfy her fully, and in a moment of depression she runs into a complete stranger, Alexis, whom she instantly falls in love with. Alexis, alas, is married, with two children, and works for the Socialist Party. None of this is going to deter Camille though…

Chicago Reader
Effective portrait of an independent woman with a troubled and unstable sense of herself. - 63
New York Post
Unpretentious and often witty, it's emotional punch is weakened by spotty performances, especially from Karin Viard in the lead role. - 63
San Francisco Examiner
Things stay standard-issue French self-analytical from here. - 60
L.A. Weekly
Corsini's insight into the psyche of this contemporary woman doesn't have much of a point because it tells us nothing new.
