Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

MartinHafer This is the story of two women who were childhood friends. Although one of them was not overtly aware of it, the other friend had become sexually attracted to her over time. However, instead of voicing this inner desire, this longing, at times, comes out in the form of conflict between them. This conflict pushes them apart and years pass until they are reunited. However, this sublimated conflict inevitably arises and the friends part repeatedly without getting to the heart of the conflict.Eventually, they get to their true feelings and they have a brief and passionate sexual encounter. However, instead of it being the beginning of a new phase in their relationship, it drives them apart as the one friend (who had not had the obsession) felted repelled by the homosexual aspect of her own sexuality and she QUICKLY jumped into a sexual liaison with a man to prove her own heterosexuality to herself. The obsessed friend felt betrayed and they went their separate ways again (though exactly how this occurred is VERY intense and striking, you'll just have to see it for yourself). The end.I don't really think this is a "lesbian movie" per se, as the movie seems to point out that humans are sexual beings with a wide range of sexual desires and responses. Both women are sexually involved with men as well as each other. How they respond psychologically to this hidden desire is what makes this a really interesting movie.

kyrilid A film with an unaffected, to-the-point direction, a sensitive, penetrating story and first-rate interpretations from actresses who I, for one,would care not to see weeping, statuette-in-hand,thanking the Academy, the Nation, their great-grandmothers and uncle Oscar. "La repetition", along with "La pianiste" and "Irreversible" (all three -by coincidence?- french-speaking), was an oasis in a series of routine films, which I saw recently. Those of you who have had enough of visual effects and the garrulity of films which have actually nothing to say may as well turn to films like "La repetition", which succeeds in making a point even when it remains silent. I am now looking for director Corsini's other films, and I am only too curious to find out how some other director, who will also reflect upon the subject of a woman's love for another woman, will deal with it.

hakkikurtulus This well built French drama clearly narrates a story of a passion. I think "La répetition" is one of the best films that have ever been made on the passion of a woman to another one. The interesting point about that is the passion has not got counter-love or passion from the desired woman.A story of women, from a woman which reflects perfectly, the ununderstandable relation of passion, hate and rivalry between two friends.

LHG-3 The story draws a lot from movies such as Single White Female and "Harry un ami qui vous veut du bien", except that none of the drama that these two movies contain is present : no murder or madness here, everything is strictly psychological. When ending credits starts rolling, this gives the impression that the movie has been really pointless. Acting is very good though.
