The cinematography and lighting are lovely and the cast is made up of good-looking actors, but the script is filled with implausible points, there are too many useless sequences that don't propel the story and maudlin emotional scenes that don't ring true at all. I don't recommend this film.
To name a few implausible points: - How could a young woman who lives with her parents have a side career as a race car driver and have affairs with two men without someone wondering why she's never home? Instead, the film portrays a happy family. - How did it happen that the daughter of the police officer was the one to discover the body? A silly script coincidence. - The scene with Flo in the bar saying she'd just had her fifth cocktail. Really? A slender woman has had five and is still talking and laughing? - The scene at the park with Romain and Lea having sex in the car. Why? They have a room at Romain's house and permission from his parents. It seems a bit implausible, not to mention the silly earring discovery. And many more.
Wasted time and sequences would include -- Flo swimming (what's the point of several of these sequences?), -- family dinners and restaurant meals that don't add anything to the story line -- The overly long sequence in the morgue, -- Too many scenes in the basement with Julien printing pictures -- Flo's night out getting drunk If this film were well-edited, it would be much shorter and a good thriller.
In the maudlin category --- There are too many sappy scenes of characters trying to look sad or pensive or thoughtful with a techno pop soundtrack. Yuk.
