Arnaud Piriou rated ★ 7/10
La réalisatrice disparue en juillet dernier nous livre un film très délicat au scénario malheureusement assez décousu ; il s’agit d’une histoire de dépression dans laquelle tombe une femme qui atteint la soixantaine et l’angoisse du temps qui passe. À noter l’apparition de Philippe Katerine, Valérie Donzelli et d’autres artistes moins connus 7/10
Synopsis
