If you don't already know everything about Simone Veil's life and accomplishments, this movie isn't for you. And if you do, you probably won't like it either.
The movie constantly jumps from one period to another, from one subject to another, in an unforgiving 2h20 long artsy montage, mentioning people/organization names or showing them speak, without giving any clue as to who/what they are, so no chance to understand unless you're already an expert on the movie's subject.
Sexism is represented as very easily manageable and unthreatening, antisemitism is absent aside from the arrestations and camps...
I was so enthusiastic for a movie that tells Simone Veil's story, this movie is so not up to the task.
