“Cheap jokes like a trick’s red-faced discovery of a dildo in her bedroom betray not only Labrune’s middlebrow idea of transgression, but also patronizes, and tries to cage, Huppert’s evasive identity as an actress. Huppert’s natural, ineradicable inscrutability, her refusal to emotionally simplify a single moment, is at odds with the script’s broad character arc and final semi-catharsis.”
