Former Nouvelle Vague star Bernadette Lafont proves that she has lost none of her edge in this film, in which she plays a sixtysomething woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Taking off with her grandchildren into the French Alps, Lafont's imposing anti-heroine makes a last defiant bid to escape from... what exactly? Her life? Her past? Her useless ex-son-in-law? Little is clear other than her increasing independence, which may or may not be tipping over into derangement. It's a strange film, balanced between whimsy and creepiness, rather unevenly handled by director Olivier Peyon, but firmly anchored by Lafont's magnetic screen presence.
