What did he think First in 2006 ? “Surfing with skillful lightness on the harsh issues of the time (return of religion, vociferous communitarianism), Bad Faith fixes the disagreements interfering within the couple, skilfully drags on the side of the secondary characters, concocts nicely tense micro-suspenses around the contradictions of each. Even if the staging sometimes lacks invention, the intelligent efficiency of the script, the quiet audacity of the filmmaker and the contagious good humor of the whole make Bad Faith one of the significant successes of the moment. Quickly, the rest.”
