Two Women

Two Women is a Canadian sex comedy directed by Chloé Robichaud, a modernized remake of Claude Fournier's 1970 film Two Women in Gold. Violette (Laurence Leboeuf) and Florence (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman) are neighboring suburban mothers in Montreal, both trapped in loveless, sexless relationships and feeling like failures despite having careers and families. Violette is on a difficult maternity leave, spending her days breastfeeding and caring for her young daughter while her husband Benoit secretly conducts an affair with a person named Eli under the guise of business trips. Florence, meanwhile, is managing depression and a stagnant relationship with her partner David. The two women bond over their shared domestic ennui and sense of unfulfillment. Florence decides to stop taking her antidepressants and embrace a more adventurous, pleasure-seeking life, embarking on a series of extramarital hookups. She persuades Violette that monogamy is a social construct designed to benefit men, and Violette begins pursuing her own affairs as well. The women navigate a series of chaotic misadventures as they pursue sexual liberation. The crisis point arrives at a hockey game, where David kisses Eli in public and then collapses after mixing alcohol with his medication. The incident forces a reckoning: Benoit and Violette both discover the other has been unfaithful, while Florence learns that David had been involved with Eli. The film ends with diverging outcomes — Benoit and Violette choose to confront their issues and work to rekindle their marriage, while Florence and David's relationship ends in separation.
