Despite the true story and the good intentions, this is a film about domestic violence that gets stuck too much in clichés. The husband is a real bad guy, mean to his children, lashes out at his wife, poorly educated, etc. and his wife is the docile type who, with feelings of guilt, takes on the role of victim. I don't think domestic violence is something that only takes place at the bottom of society, nor is it as transparent or black and white as it is shown here. 2* for the good intentions, but there are probably better films, also cinematic, that deal with this theme.

Recently saw a similar film, also from France and also based on a true event.

Unfortunately, partner and family violence cannot be ignored and these figures prove the prevalence of such situations.

How blind can love be and how much can the victim endure before making final decisions?

It is shocking what happened in that family and the film is certainly not without emotion, especially towards the end.

Surprising decision-making by the Public Prosecution Service.

Good performances.
