CGiii Comment

Blier threw everything at the screen, leaving only a very large and unpleasant stain behind...this is a chaotic mess.

Gainsbourg's talent is 'nepotistically' negligible...here, she proves that she is as wooden in French as she is in English.

Some may view this as offensive - it is.
