Writer/director Virginie Despentes delivers a sweet, if slight, mature-age love story with Bye Bye Blondie, exhibiting considerable growth as a filmmaker since her maddeningly-overrated debut shocker Baise-Moi (2000). Her new movie’s marketing may play up the more lascivious allure of the lesbian pairing of Emmanuelle Béart and Béatrice Dalle, but the film itself is far more interested in exposing the character’s emotions than their flesh.
