Femme is an ancient Athenian tragedy disguised as a psychological thriller. It did some things very well. I was constantly afraid of violence erupting at any moment so it was very tense watching. I like this film’s point of view and politics, too. I thought it was pretty smart. Some of the plot is not really believable, though, if I’m being honest (you’re telling me this violently closeted man went to a bathhouse?), and
Femme takes a bit too long to get where it is inevitably going.
