Just for the "ism" conversation.

Actually, Nathalie and her mother has a conversation about their relationship at the hospital.

One of the most horrible movies I've seen. It's a misogynistic huge pile of shit wrapped in a fancy package. No, it's even worse; it's a 99 minute long AD for laissez-faire capitalism and extreme liberalism in the shape of a realistic drama film.

If you can spell "intersectionality" you'll probably regret watching it, just saying.

Just in case someone who don't know the film end up here and see the previous "just saying", I have 2 things to say:
1- it's one of the best films I know
2- but it barely passes the test. There is only one conversation that passes the test and it's a short one. Although it's important to better understand one of the characters, it's by no means central to the film development, and I guess it's lucky it didn't get cut off during the edit process.
