The stories these seemingly well-adjusted girls share force the middle-aged writer to examine her own life, family and sexuality. Elles is a must-see filmfrom acclaimed director Malgoska Szumowska (Antichrist), whose talent has finally flourished in full bloom. Review: Five Stars - Juliette B is a gem of an actress. It is exciting to wtach her. Review: A middle age woman peeks behind the facade - Elles is a serious look at a specific aspect of modern day romantic life in the age of the internet and cellphones. Juliette Binoche stars as a writer for Elle magazine researching (she thinks) an article on young college-age women who offer their services to men in order to obtain the money they need to live as something better than a starving student. Binoche's character starts out aloof and almost sneering, with the stereotypical attitude the general public has towards these women, but as she gets to know them better she gets drawn to them and into their world, letting down her journalist's guard. What elevates Elles far above a mere fictionalized documentary movie is when Binoche's character realizes that she is already part of this world. Aside from one scene in which a character gets assaulted (which is most likely a fantasy, although it is not entirely clear), there are no real victims or perpetrators in Elles. It is just what consenting adults do to satisfy their needs and survive the stresses of modern day life. The centerpiece of Elles by far is Juliette Binoche's character, and she gives a star performance. Her character is not terribly attractive, and her face often shows the stresses of the life she leads as a busy working mom, but that is as it should be. She is most appealing when she lets her hair down by getting tipsy with one of her interview subjects, and that scene is a pure joy. The two college students, played by Anais Demoustier and Joanna Kulig, are near opposites in personality, body type and hair color, but each actress gives an intimately revealing portrayal. The men and boys in Elles have much more minor roles, but are well played. The casting and acting are spot-on, and speak to the care with which Elles was obviously made. If this film ever gets remade as an American film with American actors, I doubt it will be anywhere near as good. The only thing that prevents me from giving Elles five stars is that it tries to do a bit much in a short amount of time. There are many scenes and many significant events which rush forward to an ultimately satisfying conclusion. I feel the film could have benefited from a slightly more languorous pace, which would have allowed time to more fully explore everything that happens. Elles is highly recommended for adults who aren't afraid to look behind the facade. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Anaïs Demoustier, Joanna Kulig, Juliette Binoche, Louis-Do de Lencquesaing, Malgorzata Szumowska | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 431 Reviews | | Format | Anamorphic, Blu-ray, Dolby, Multiple Formats, NTSC, Subtitled, Surround Sound, Widescreen | | Genre | Drama | | Language | French | | Runtime | 1 hour and 39 minutes | ## Images ![Elles [Blu-ray] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bmvadijkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by B***N on February 7, 2018* Juliette B is a gem of an actress.
