Trivia
Before writing the script, writer/director Valérie Donzelli already had actress Virginie Efira in mind for the part of Blanche, so she gave her a copy and the book and she quickly accepted. However, she didn't have anybody in mind for the part of Grégoire; Melvil Poupaud was cast much later.

Uncomfortable and triggering

Go out more they said. Meet men they said. Maybe that's not such a great idea after all... Lamoureux is anything but amoureux.

It's very uncomfortable and triggering. Watching the degree to which a woman allows a man to degrade her. And for what, for the love that he once gave her? Which was all clearly staged, a carefully conceived trap.

Peak confidence for a domestic abuser - admit he's an abuser and then blame her for allowing it to happen, for not loving him enough to prevent him from turning into an abuser.

Yeah, cats and wine seem better companions.

Not all men they said. Enough though.
