„Eine leicht giftige Beziehung verwandelt sich in etwas völlig Giftiges“ – Passages | Filme | Unterhaltung
In diesem liberalen Zeitalter kommen nur wenige französische Dramen mit einem 18-Zertifikat in die britischen Kinos. Es scheint, dass es eine lange, beeindruckend energiegeladene Sexszene mit dem deutschen Schauspieler Franz Rogowski und Paddington-Star Ben Whishaw war, die die britischen Zensoren zum Handeln anspornte.
