Jeux d'enfants (2003) ... Why?

I just watched Jeux d'enfants last night with a friend. I was wondering if anyone else has seen this thoroughly unpleasant little film? I won't try to review it here, I know this isn't the right forum for that but I need to get it out of my system so if anyone's seen it, I'd love to hear their thoughts.

I havent seen it in its entirety but the good part I did see wasnt too bad but like I said I didnt see the whole thing!

Marion Cotillard though........

I've never heard of this and it looks quite interesting.

*adds to list*

Did you actually like it OP?

Nope, I'm afraid I hated it. I found it to be utterly lacking in human feeling. It was like it had been made by someone who had casually observed human emotions but never felt or understood any.

Some bits were sort of alright, but no I have to say I got no enjoyment at all from it.

But... yeah, Marion Cotillard is pretty astounding.

Oh yes. I remember seeing this when it first came out.

It was sort of sold as a quirky Amelie style film... but it was very poor.

Sounds even more intriguing. I love watching films that split people right down the middle.

This seems to be a love it or hate it type film anyway.

I really enjoyed this film. I wouldn't go so far as to say I loved it, but....

It was sort of sold as a quirky Amelie style film.
