Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 5 -- [The] cathartic pay-off comes in the largely wordless climax, which packs a blindsiding wallop of emotional conviction.
Total Film
Rating: 3/5 --
Too much of Stéphane Brizé's film is elegant water-treading, but there are candid little scenes, and one of those will-they-won't-they, Brief Encounter denouements that never go out of fashion.
Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 4/5 --
Understated, powerfully emotional drama that plays like an updated French version of Brief Encounter, thanks to a superb script and terrific performances from Vincent Lindon and Sandrine Kilberlain.

Brize's naturalistic direction and DP Antoine Heberle's sensuous cinematography paint an intensely detailed portrait of small-town life...

Rating: 3/5 --
It hauls its bucket up slowly. We're not sure till the end, or even then, if there is much water in it.

[D]eeply moving....An exquisite chamber piece made with the kind of sensitivity and nuance that's become almost a lost art.
Los Angeles Times
Mademoiselle Chambon may be a small film about inconsequential people, but the situations and emotions it stirs up are universally profound

Product Description:
Two adults struggle to avoid letting their erotic passion for one another guide them into infidelity in this subtly erotic, understated chamber drama from France. Vincent Lindon stars as Jean, a burly blue-collar mason who lives semi-contentedly with his wife, Anne-Marie (Aure Atika), and son, Jérémy (Arthur Le Houérou), in some unspecified provincial French town. Little passion exists in Jean's life -- until his path crisscrosses with that of Véronique Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain), his son's violin teacher. Completely taken with the woman's cultural sophistication (manifested through her love of classical music) and intellectualism, Jean begins contemplating an affair with this virtual stranger, and offers to repair one of her windows as an excuse to be more proximate to her. Ultimately, suspense begins to build as the question lingers of whether the two will give in to their desires. Stéphane Brizé directed and authored the script, an adaptation of Eric Holder's novel.
