Compared to other works I've seen so far, this one is less in the realm of magical and suspense, equipped with much fewer whimsical and enchanting moments in the traditional sense...there is clear imbalance among these protagonists, with Ida being the one with (significantly) least screen time, but Rivette likely doesn't care. The eventual encounter of the other 2, Louise and Ninon, and the bonding thereafter, is clearly reminiscent of Celine and Julie Go Boating, and that includes their joint effort in subverting gender dynamics...see full review at https://letterboxd.com/ziggyzaggy/film/up-down-fragile/

“拿着包子，我忽然明白，原来有些东西，善良的秘书没有就是没有，不行就是不行，善良的秘书没有鱼丸，善良的秘书没有粗面，没去马尔代夫，善良的秘书没有奖牌，善良的秘书没有张保仔的宝藏，而张保仔也没吃过那包子，原来愚蠢，并不那么好笑，愚蠢会失败，失望并不那么好笑，胖并不一定好笑，胖不一定有力，有力气也不一定行，拿着包子，我忽然想到，长大了，到我该面对这硬绷绷，未必可以做梦、未必那么好笑的世界的时候，我会怎样呢？”

女演员台词讲得真好听。凝练，沉静，哀婉，肃穆。

法国现代社会关于种族、移民、对立的一种缩影，人物刻画生动，将观众完全置于旁观者的位置体验，评说自在观众那边。本来片子拍的蛮好的，善良的秘书最后出现的雨果那段话把人恶心到了，难道警察就完全错，小孩就无辜？未免简单化了

纪录片的纪录片，隐藏摄影机以寻找真正的真实，却始终无法避免刻意与搬演。最后一个镜头，摄影机在离开导演后在大街上下意识地对路人进行主体的转移，全片最真实的部分。
