Québécois director Denis Côté’s quirky film oscillates between a tender and glacial ambiance. Articulated around the portrait of two marginal and unshakable women, this drama with burlesque accents spares no embellishment in filming its actresses – Canadian Pierrette Robitaille and French actress Romane Bohringer. A duo with a troubling charm who doesn’t make it easy to access this movie that is hard to identify, full of oddities, strangeness and a touching freedom. But in the end, the handling of the story and its characters is sometimes intimate but also very distant and emotionless, turning this melancholy movie too cold to be convincing.
