Overview

When Blanche (Virginie Efira) meets the charismatic Gregoire (Melvil Poupaud) at a party her twin sister Rose drags her to, she thinks she has found the one. The ties that bind them grow quickly, and a passionate affair ensues. Rose has serious reservations about Gregoire, but against her better judgment, they decide to marry and move in together. Blanche and Gregoire soon relocate far from Blanche’s family where her new life begins; having two children, working as an elementary school teacher, and learning to tiptoe around Gregoire’s unfounded burgeoning insecurities. Little by little Blanche finds herself caught in the grip of a deeply possessive and dangerous man, desperate to escape his increasingly threatening affections. Just the Two of Us is a closely observed domestic thriller adapted from Éric Reinhardt’s prize-winning novel L’amour et les forêts by Valérie Donzelli and Audrey Diwan.

Reactions, Awards & Festivals

"[A] nervy, finely acted domestic thriller."

Guy Lodge

Variety

“A solid and often uncomfortably tense domestic drama”

Wendy Ide

Screen Daily

“[I]t’s first and foremost a feminist work of truth, offering up challenging but wonderful roles which Virginie Efira and Melvil Poupaud portray with great talent.”
