Review of Elle (2016) by Nedryerson1 — 22 Feb 2017
Elle is a mentally disturbed movie, a human drama like nothing you seen before, can’t say if in the good or bad sense. Tells the story of a woman, with a horrible past, that could traumatize every kid in the world; and that is violated in her adulthood.
Michele’s stoicism is breathtaking; the struggle she gets in is astoundingly portrayed: the rebirth of her past and the imperious impulse to move on with her life. This awful happening will affect, without her noticing, her love life and the relationship with her mom, son and friends.
Regardless it seems that the protagonist didn’t change after the assault, it’s because of what she lived as child, that prepared herself, in a way the viewer can imagine, for borderline situations.
The director’s hand doesn’t tremble for showing the reality, the script is very clever and Isabelle Huppert is magnificent and her performance gives you chills.
