The movie had potential, but ultimately wasted it. Potential was for an intriguing tale of voyeurism and vicarious living of an author's/researcher's life through the lives of the people she interviews for her work, and ultimately how this affects her.
In reality, the movie goes down this path, but pulls its punches and goes nowhere. For all the nudity and sex, the movie isn't that gritty, ultimately. (The sex and nudity is a bit tame, anyway).
I was expecting a profound ending, but was very disappointed. There is no life changing, just voyeurism.
Solid performance by Juliette Binoche in the lead role. Good support from a cast of unknowns.
