I, personally, thought the film is excellent, although it can easily be included in the category of French films like Fat Girl and The Piano Teacher: damn depressing, ice-cold (un)erotic tales.  To watch the film, you must be aware that it deals with several taboos that you may or may not want to see.  However, Élodie is, as usual, phenomenal.  I'm actually surprised the rating for Don't Let Me Die on a Sunday is so high (the same goes with Fat Girl, which was one of the lowest rated films at the festival I saw it at), because it's definitely not a widely-accessible film.
