The Accusation (2021)

In during the debate of rape victims should be believed no matter what and accused should be all sentenced to maximum punishment. A story is told between perceptions of Mila and Alex. Two different cultures and lifestyles cross-path over a night that nobody can ever interpret the truth out of. —KhaledSGadExcellent acting from some heavyweights the best and most salient being La Gainsbourg; her summation at the end of the trial should get her awards and prob willIt adds a human dimension to some of the possible perceived excesses of the entire Weinstein-triggered Zeitgeist (Balance ton Porc: “Grass up your Pig”) being the French expression of the Metoo worldwide movementIt ultimately explores and questions what is consent and how fluid and tortuous this concept can be to legislate around.It does not come out in the end with any solid answer as indeed it probably cannot be done; but it is a very balanced and intelligent; also very well-paced reflection on the entire issueI gave a nine; some might a ten …. oh yes and despite the very heavy subject matter (rape) it is an enjoyable film to view overall.
