TWO WOMEN – Review by Lois Alter Mark

Two Women, a remake of the 1970 French comedy Deux femmes en or, is the kind of movie critics often call a “sex romp,” which sounds fun but is, ultimately, soft porn-ish and demeaning to women. No one in this movie fares particularly well but the “sex with the handyman” trope is so cartoonish it makes it ridiculous to try to analyze the film in any depth. There’s satire here and director Chloé Robichaud attempts to make a point but it just doesn’t work, despite excellent performances by the two women leads. It simply comes across as cheesy and uncomfortable to watch.

After Sarah Prefers to Run (2013) and Pays (2016), Canadian director Chloé Robichaud’s latest feature film, Days of Happiness, follows a young orchestra director as she faces a crossroads in her life and career, trying to navigate the toxic relationship with her father – who is also her manager – and a budding romance with violoncellist Naëlle. The inspiration for Days of Happiness came to Robichaud seven years ago. The idea of a young female conductor on a podium on the screen fascinated her.
