Yet again have I written a review for MovieScene:

Not a film that achieved what it set out to do. You just don't get to connect with a character enough if you seen 25 years of her life in the space of only 90 minutes. Suzanne therefore gets stuck in a web of consequences, not in creating understanding or exploring proper motivations of the protagonist, who we cannot help but judge harshly for her woeful willingness to behave both wholesomely irresponsible and socially inacceptible. Even though we supposedly get to see what we need to see, it's not enough to mentally associate as closely as we would like in order to place Suzanne's criminal activity in the proper context. Decent acting and fine cinematography not withstanding, for at least the movie succeeds on that account. Women that fall in love with all the wrong men still remain a mystery to the rest of the world. Suzanne doesn't change that.
