Although the casts made a great attempt, they won't upgrade the screenplay to be acceptable ! The story tends to be intriguing and worth catching up with, but the second half leads to a poor ending and left me with the worst nightmare.

Do not expect anything !
A Weird Triangle of Love in a Disappointing Movie
Alice (Anne Parillaud) is a French artist invited to expose in New York. Her boy friend, the boxer Franck (Patrick Aurignac) has just moved to live with her, when her deranged sister Elsa (Béatrice Dalle) leaves her husband Thomas (Alain Chabat) and their children alone and comes to stay with the couple, destroying their relationship. This movie is a great deception. Having a magnificent French cast and a great atmosphere in a weird triangle of love, it concludes in the worst way like in a vulgar erotic thriller. In the end, only the nudeness and beauty of Anne Parillaud is worthwhile. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): 'Seis Dias, Seis Noites' ('Six Days, Six Nights')
Steamy drama-thriller is thin yet darkly compelling
Anne Parillaud and Beatrice Dalle, well-matched in both looks and acting styles, are sisters (or are they?) who reunite after a long time; Parillaud is the more level-headed one, an artist who is trying to buld a "normal" life. Dalle is the impulsive one, who walks out on her (cheating) husband and two kids, crashes her sisters' apartment (with a panoramic view of Paris, no less) and disrupts her seemingly promising affair with a boxer. This steamy, adult psychological drama, with thriller overtones, is rather thin plot-wise, yet darkly compelling. In other words, not a lot happens in it yet I was never bored. **1/2 out of 4.
