Very much what it promises in the title, this is mundane despite the fact that it boldly opens in an abortion clinic and centers on a woman's break-up with her boyfriend and reconciliation with her ex-husband. The drama is understated to a fault since Romy Schneider is such a cold, unlikable presence. It's interesting how matter-of-factly this treats her relationship drama while peripheral characters get all the melodrama like a suicide attempt. Whenever it seems to get a bit of focus, it sidetracks to a throwaway scene. It'd be one thing if this was boring by design, but it's just boring in its amateurism.
