Complex but interesting

This film tells the complex story of political and corporate machinations in the French nuclear industry, along with the central character's lengthy legal battle to clear her name of charges of fabricating evidence, following a personal attack upon her. At times it feels as if the film is struggling to accommodate both stories in a single narrative - the details over the secret deal with the Chinese get a bit lost once Kearney's personal story (which has echoes of the British PO scandal) takes over. Isabelle Huppert is a fine actress, who presents Kearney as someone to admire rather than to like. I felt as if I might have got more out of the film if I had known more about either the legal case, or the French nuclear industry, but it is an interesting, compelling story about the struggles of an individual against powerful unsympathetic officialdom.

A real story that can scared us

I'm not going to say that I liked the film but rather happy to have witnessed real facts and which make it possible to denounce certain actions of people with power and the abuse that it can have. The fact that this woman was attacked because she could cause harm. I found the film rather ingenious in its way of blurring the tracks and contrasting our point of view: can we really trust the main character? Did she do this just to get attention? We understand very quickly that no and a similar case to his will bring to light a kind of person who is still unidentified and will completely exonerate the character despite the fact that there were beatings and invasion of the privacy of a woman. Person. I found the story rather interesting: not twisting the facts and rather telling the story in all its ugliness, pain and political issues too. Very happy to have discovered the film even if the performance of the actors took me out of the story for a few moments even if it was not during the whole film. I highly recommend this film and it also gives a certain realism to the situation of women and employment.
