Warning: Spoilers
'Ne te retourne pas' (= French for 'don't give yourself back') makes an unusual watching. Leading you to some family drama in the past that has much to do with changing identities.

One cannot say the plot is this film's strongest part, but I suppose it wasn't meant to be anyway. The lack of it adds prominence to the visuals, and of course to the two female leads Sophie Marceau and Monica Belluci.

These visuals are pretty much extended, but one must admit they never bore you. Both Sophie Marceau and Monica Belluci are competent enough to carry this film all the way down.

Apart from these two ladies, 'Ne te retourne pas' breathes a Latin South European lifestyle. Its picturing is tasty in a competent way, but nowhere & never excels.
