It gives a backstage view of the triumphs and miseries of a successful actor, celebrates daily life in France -- tradition, argument, cheese -- and shows a daughter struggling to emerge from the shadow of her powerful, flawed parents.</p><p><em>Loose Woman</em> illuminates how, with the help of six damaged Frenchmen, a gifted, damaged young woman begins, at last, to trust and forgive herself, to live loosely, and to set off in a surprising new direction.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An amazing journey of the self.
