| User ReviewCe GHow can you miss when my sweetie, Catherine Deneuve, is in the movie? A taut mystery as Deneuve plays an emotionally ice cold woman who has not gotten over the mystery of her mother leaving the family while she was only a child. Deneuve's adult daughter returns to the family home and rediscovers a hidden diary left by the missing woman and uncovers secrets that Deneuve would prefer not to relive. Beautifully acted as tension fills the air of people who have closed off their emotional self from others but cracks soon begin to appear. A film of nostalgia, broken dreams, fantasized pasts and the loss of trust. |
| User ReviewEric BOn dormirait presque, mais les dernières minutes sauvent le film. |
| User ReviewFlorence DBon film sur la famille, les non-dits et la condition féminine. Les trois actrices sont excellentes, les paysages sont superbes et le scénario est à la fois efficace et d'une grande sobriété. Ill y a toutefois quelques longueurs. |
| User ReviewDave JSuccessful project engineer,Audrey (Marina Hands) returns home to France from Canada to see her mother, Martine (Catherine Deneuve) . And with their ongoing consistent arguing, Audrey then moves to the abandoned house where her mother used to live. It is then is when she discovers her mother's mother, Louise (Marie-Josée Croze) or Aubrey's grandmother's hidden diary- hence the title, revealing some old secrets. |
| User ReviewNikki LPlain and honestly, a bit bored. It's a film that you will never feel regret stopping in the middle for some errands and resuming when you get back to the seat. The supposed-to-be-shocking real cause of her granma's death turned out to be nothing extrordinary, and in fact, quite logical and therefore the ending didn't live up to my expectation, not to mention my efforts to follow the whole film through were kind of wasted.. |
