Concept: C
Story: D
Characters: The protagonist is extremely well-realized (thanks to Exarchopoulos' performance). The other characters are more scenery and plot devices than people. Even her love interest is rarely anything more than just something that happens to her. B
Dialog: C
Pacing: F
Cinematography: B
Special effects/design: B
Acting: A
Music: C
Enjoyment: There's longing, then sex, then pain. In a three hour love story, they managed to avoid love entirely (apart from the heartbreak aspect of it). So French. C
GPA: 2.2/4
