L'Économie du couple (Joachim Lafosse, 2016)

Bérénice Bejo is in danger of being typecast as a tight-lipped mother harassed by fickle husbands after a virtual repetition of her role in The Past. It's not that she does this anything less than convincingly, and the film has real depth and a different than usual dimension too as a marriage that has ended goes through its last stutters and all that remains is acrimonious financial settlements. It's painfully truthful and some scenes really hit home with jarring force when the viewer's sympathies swing between the two leads, but not really cinema, more a documentary.
