MariaSavianoExternal review

This is a very engaging thriller, not least for the outstanding performances of the cast. However, a warning for parents that it contains a lot of nudity, some of which is unexpected. Sophie Marceau is shown nude in several scenes in which her hairy vagina is clearly visible. There is also an extended scene in which a black man’s penis is visible for around a minute and does not go unnoticed.
