This is a badly conceived thriller. We have a situation where a man's wife is suddenly arrested and sent to prison for murder. There are enough subtle clues in the film for us to be certain of her innocence. Indeed, the murder was really committed by another woman whom we actually glimpse. Creepily, this same woman sits beside the wife in the park and they chat. But this film lets us down. Surely everyone who writes thrillers knows that people want to know whodunit. In this film, the question of what really happened is ignored, and the entire story is based upon the husband (Vincent Lindon)'s efforts to bust his wife out of jail. Really, that is not the way thrillers are supposed to work. Fred Cavayé wrote and directed this film and we should take him over our knee and give him a good spanking. It may be very watchable, but he shattered the canon of the thriller by allowing a mystery to go unsolved. You can't do that and get away with it!
