1st I need to mention I am annoyed by Netflix flagging it like a "top 10 movies", which intrigued me and made me watch it. My main interest was to watch some good french movie, to stay in touch with their cinematography and practice the language. Each year Cesars are warded. I wish Netflix made an effort and got licensed 2-3 of nominees and not flood us instead with mediocre productions.
I would not trash this movie as some people did in their reviews, but I would definitely not recommend it to anyone - for the sake of saving time. There are tons of better movies out there and life is too short.
The movie has some nice touches, but aside from being per moments really boring it is made so, that at some point, say 75% of it, if you pause and reflect, you will know the ending, since there is no other way the plot could go to.
Save your time and find something better to watch.

Mediocre at best
Leave it in the past
No pun intended - also is not the past that forms us? That has made us the person we are today? Of course if something terrible and quite life altering has happened ... shouldn't we try to deal with it? And this is exactly what is going on here. I would not say that the movie has a twist for me towards the end, though you may feel different. I just know that the movie is well told and well acted.
If you had a trauma and your mind does not want to remember - well what to do? The thriller part of this is nice I reckon, but you can tell it was made for tv I reckon ... seen worse though - but this could have been tighter pacing wise. Still a nice movie overall (no pun intended here either)
