Although it is possible that French actress Isabelle Huppert makes the occasional false move, she does not make them in front of a camera.

This is a careful and cinematic adaptation that rings with painful truth.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
Fresh
For the most part, [Chereau] lets Huppert and Greggory provide the emotional impact. They respond accordingly, imbuing their mutual suffering with an exacting and moving finesse.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Fresh
Chereau matches Conrad's insistence on psychological accuracy, burrowing through the protective layers of self-delusion that hold so many human relationships together.
Michael Booth, Denver Post
Fresh
Husband and wife, upper-class couple Jean and Gabrielle Hervey, are played, to perfection, by two of France's premier film actors: Pascal Greggory and Isabelle Huppert.
