Baise Moi has had such a bad reaction because the sex scenes are full on and filmed in the style of a porno film plus of course the gun shot (which has been cut from the UK dvd release) didn't exactly help its cause. It's just seen as exploitive re: the sex and violence.

No matter how bad Ma Mere is I can't imagine it hits the same level, I can't see Isabel Huppert doing scenes that would be more appropriate in a hardcore porn film.

Cheers Trev.
