4 stars (Very Good) Portrays the rotten lives of Frenchwomen during & post WW2 & challenging picture of a determined woman writer to establish herself at the highest level. Finely recreated dark interiors of cafes & rooms. Characters have substance & are very convincing. ~Sandy
4 stars (Very Good) The period's requirements are catered for very well. The screenplay is interesting thanks in no small way to the liquorice allsorts lead character and while not zipping along it keeps moving through some good editing. The casting is spot on. ~Tubbs
