even the high calaber actresses like rampling can't save this one from being nothing more than "exotic" soft core porn, very disappointed with this one.
Other than Charlotte Rampling and the Haitian kid, most of the people were pretty dull. Was interesting examination of Haiti. Oh, and for those of you concerned about the content - mainly because the cover doesn't look "safe", there's hardly anything other than some harsh dialog... read more
Older women, young boys & Haiti... yummy lol. Gorgeous scenes, minimal story. CRampling gets better with age.

The regal Rampling has never been finer, and Cesar makes his character surprisingly proud and sympathetic. Full Review
The film offers something unusual, a tragic spectacle of normal, recognizable and utterly sympathetic people condemning themselves. Full Review
The movie avoids devolving into polemic by treating its characters as individuals. Full Review
In its way, the film is a piercing indictment, though it makes its point without much screaming, hectoring or preening. It's quietly terrific. Full Review

Boasts another formidable and fine-tuned performance from the great Charlotte Rampling.
A nervy but muddleheaded work ... with sharply unpleasant things to say about the First World's moral strip-mining of the Third but an overly tactful way of saying them. Full Review
Cantet's fascinating, troubling drama has many meanings. Full Review
The women are meant to level the emotional playing field and add depth to what is, at heart, a story about the exploitation of poor nations by rich and powerful ones. But they wind up being too bitter... Full Review
