On the one hand, it's a kind of Ken Loach-like exploration... but it's also, and I think more interestingly, about somebody pretending to be someone they're not.

It’s never a waste of time to watch Juliette Binoche, and this film, which screened at Cannes in the spring, is definitely worth seeing. Between Two Worlds is both credible and absorbing.

Between Two Worlds is freshest when it emphasizes its documentary-like qualities, such as the brief inserts of everyday scenes and locales shot by Philippe Lagnier without any guidance from the director.

Emmanuel Carrère might not fully clear the bar he set with his first feature, but he does prove himself a flexible filmmaker, able to adapt his style to the individual project.
