Odile~'s rating of the film Life the Way It Is
Odile~

La protagonista, Agnès, las pasará putas en este interesante film de increíble violencia social. Toca las relaciones patrón-empleado, choques hombre-mujer, la cólera y la violencia proletarias de los suburbios franceses, esa incesante búsqueda de trabajo asalariado, amén de temas de excesiva crudeza, tales como marginalidad, explotación, sumisión... En definitiva, como reza el título, la vie comme ça.
