Review of Elle (2016) by Ginak — 24 Dec 2016
If you love Isabelle Huppert as an actress and can accept other people’s points of view based on what’s happened to them, then you will like or maybe even love this movie as I did. Can rape ever be funny? No, but when you find out who the rapist is in this film – and who his wife is – maybe then you will begin to understand Huppert’s Michele Leblanc and see the many absurdities and ironies in this film.
When you meet Michele’s parents and learn about her father, you may understand her cockeyed life more clearly. And you may even find yourself laughing and admiring how Isabelle Huppert manages to make such a character come alive so that you understand and even sympathize with her.
