This was a beautiful film, and worth the watch. I hadn't known about this historical and literary persona, so it was interesting to get some education on her as a writer, and her relationship with de Beauvoir. A tortured and stunning artist.

Absolutely gorgeous. Sensitive, unsensational. Try to find Violette's books--it's very difficult. Genet is everywhere, but women's sexuality is still under lock and key today.
I saw it awhile ago and it gets richer as time passes. A beautiful portrait of a complex woman.
I was not familiar with the work of Violette Leduc but this portrait is a good way to discover her. The pacing is suited to the story of a complex woman and how amazing to see Simone de Beauvoir portrayed in a modern film.
Great movie to discover the life and struggle of a fantastic writer...
I loved it . Really captures the struggle artist go through
Vey lovely and historically accurate film about a woman we should all call a S'hero!
