Conclusion: 3/5
This is a remake of a 2018 French film which was based on a 2012 novel by Barbara Abel called Derrière la Haine. I thought that Jessica Chastain and Anne Hathaway both worked very well together and gave fantastic performances although I thought it was Jessica Chastain who gave the strongest performance. I very much enjoyed the musical score. I have to say how much I love the dresses and all the costumes. They are the best thing in the film.
