Une bonne leçon

About This Movie

Une bonne leçon (2013) is a quietly compelling drama that explores themes of heartbreak and revenge within a familial context. The film revolves around Sidonie, who returns from Morocco, nursing a wounded heart left by Diego. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the emotional weight to settle in as we watch her sister, Marion, take it upon herself to confront this man. The atmosphere is heavy with tension but also laced with a touch of dark humor, which gives it a unique flavor. The performances are solid, especially as Marion’s resolve grows. It's interesting to see how the Moroccan setting influences the narrative, almost becoming a character itself in this tale of lessons learned and justice sought, albeit in unconventional ways.
