Woody Allen ran out of ideas a while ago - this has novelty in that it's in French but the ingredients are the same: chattering classes, nice restaurants and houses, some narrative. A married person has an affair (here a woman), murder results (here the husband of the woman who is jealous), guilt results.
The actors are fine, I guess - Lou de Laage is very pretty though seems not that interested in what is going on, whether it's having an affair, the guy going missing or wondering if her husband is a killer. The character of her mother feels undercooked, potential robbed.
Woody just should have made the film about a man persecuted by his daughter, son and ex wife, you sense that's the film he really wanted to make.
