Last year, Nathalie Baye sought to avenge the death of her son in the very bad La Volante by interfering in the private lives of the guilty. Role reversal in Moka: this time, she plays the alleged culprit, unaware that her new friend is in fact seeking justice. The result is less pretentious and ridiculous, with more earnest writing and a very restrained performance by Emmanuelle Devos. But Moka is far too predictable and superficial to have anything interesting to say about the already hackneyed theme of mourning and twisted revenge. An unnecessary movie, despite a captivating face-to-face between Emmanuelle Devos and Nathalie Baye, two talented and very different actresses.
