“to comment on this film. It received a mainstream release in Australia, although it was hardly a raging success. The biggest thing about it was that Catherine Deneuve was here for the premiere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyway, itu0026#39;s not much of a film. The user rating is about 5.5, and thatu0026#39;s not far wrong. Anybody reading this probably knows the setup, but for those who donu0026#39;t itu0026#39;s about a woman whose son is killed in a car accident. The car was driven by his best friend. Although the womanu0026#39;s ex-husband and daughter regard the other boy as almost a murderer, the mother doesnu0026#39;t, and forms a relationship with him. (Not a sexual relationship.) That setup itself makes you think.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe problem is that it didnu0026#39;t make the makers think hard enough. The film goes nowhere. Catherine Deneuve as the mother does reasonably well with a difficult part, and sheu0026#39;s the only one I was interested in.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not bad, itu0026#39;s just not really worth bothering with.”
