There's not much that could be considered chemistry between its two leads, plus you have to struggle a bit with the tedium of moving forward in a story that doesn't seem interested in getting anywhere, at least not anywhere that feelsThere's not much that could be considered chemistry between its two leads, plus you have to struggle a bit with the tedium of moving forward in a story that doesn't seem interested in getting anywhere, at least not anywhere that feels relevant.
In addition to the fact that its length is more than excessive.

I just couldn't connect with this story.

In my opinion, the author's intention was to portray a revolution taking place via the narrative of an affair between two characters (even unnamed, as they were that insignificant to the whole point of the book) While Denis's version recounts a tryst, with a revolution taking place in the farthest background. Despite Margaret Qualley's strong performance, the magnificent score written by Denis' long-time collaborator Tindersticks, as well as the somewhat documentary-style cinematography, the film failed at convincing me as an audience to care about either the characters or the nation acting as extras.
