Review of Love Crime (2010) by Esther L — 07 May 2011

My overall comment is 'not bad'. Or I have more expectations on this film as I quite like another movie "Swimming Pool" before. The first half is pretty nice, both Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier seemed to be perfect match of playing the role of an ambitious boss and a loyal but innocent assistant.

After several rounds of betrayal by her boss and interference of her love affairs, Ludivine realized that she couldn't stand for her boss' unreasonable demand and mental torture. All of a sudden, she changed her character and started to plan for a perfect murder.

But the second half of the story is a bit out of control and everything looks not convincing. At the end Ludiviine could escape from the punishment which proves that the legal and investigation system is a joke.

Those evidence are all set up but those stupid police believe in that trick which is unbelievable.
