Baise Moi

A reasonable idea wasted. The hype far exceeds the film's accomplishments. The "naturalistic" acting is only "natural" due to the wood content. Merely a mash of "shocking" scenes with erratic structure. Unrealistic violence, pace that varies from rapid to drawn out (to the extent you really question whether it is worth wasting your life watching this dross!) with no rhyme or apparent reasoning and no genuinely redeemable filmmaking/storytelling qualities. Only view to say you have.

I watched this movie on the recomendation of a male friend, who I think wanted to shock me. I was pleased at how coherent it was, and while the graphic sex WAS graphic it really did convey the reality of rape, it was necessary to explain just why the two leads went on the killing spree that followed. If you enjoyed the girlpower story of Thelma & Louise and can get past the unrelenting grimness of the sex and violence and you are a woman, you will understand this work and see how important it as a film. Ignore the hype, watch the documentary that is bundled with it and relish a film that gives women back their power.

This is one of the first movies to fature full on sexual activities and scenes that WILL prove to be depressing, but to be blunt and to curt, this is an experimental mess that hoped to break taboos, but simply jusy titilated, with its hopes of "graphic"viloence, but it does not acheieve anything more than create a movie that deserves the tag line........"hey they really do it!"

Don't listen to the prudes ,this is a good film and more should be like it

This film really is pretentious rubbish - it is desperate to be recognised as cult, daring, real, authentic, artistic, creative, controversial , intelligently neurotic and 'penetratingly' realistic; it fails on every level.
