Review of Both Sides of the Blade (2022) by Jonathan Romney for Screen Daily — 15 Feb 2022

Indeed, Binoche has not always convinced in conventional terms when playing women in a psychosexual fluster. Nevertheless, it’s something that she specialises in, and she pushes that register a lot further here – and far more compellingly - than in Denis’s Sunshine.
