Quote:
"La femme de l'hôtel is evocative, beautifully shot, and a subtle portrayal of the attraction of similar sensibilities. [Paule] Baillargeon is, as always, marvelously expressive and entirely believable as an intelligent director; [Louise] Marleau, as the depressed Estelle, is as opaque as Baillargeon is transparent. This contrast appears to be yet another sign of director [Léa] Pool's subtle but assured style."
