Olivier JACQUET rated ★ 7/10
Surprenant, J’aime les films avec de la psychologie, mais ici l’histoire s’orientait vers une cinquantenaire mal dans sa peau jouant avec les sentiments d’un homme dans une relation malsaine, voire dérangeante. Mais ce film est plus profond que cela, et on le découvre dans la seconde partie du film. A voir d’une seule traite et à revoir une seconde fois quand on connaît la fin de l’histoire…
Synopsis
Claire, a 50-year-old divorced teacher, creates a fake Facebook profile of a 24-year-old woman. She finds a photo of a pretty young blonde and uses it. She has created an entirely fictional character, but why?
