Add to a movie listUne femme de tête ou Saisir la vie par les cheveux au Québec (Nappily Ever After) est un film américain réalisé par Haifaa al-Mansour, sorti le 21 septembre 2018 sur Netflix. Il met en vedette Sanaa Lathan, Ernie Hudson, Lyriq Bent et Lynn Whitfield.
Synopsis
La vie semble sourire à Violet Jones, une jeune femme qui, a priori, a tout réussi : elle travaille dans le monde de la publicité et a un petit ami, jeune interne en médecine ambitieux et séduisant. La quête de perfection, qui constitue le thème fondamental du film, a ses origines dans le rapport qu'entretient Violet avec sa mère depuis son enfance : elles sont à la fois complices et prisonnières dans un rôle de princesses. En effet, la mère lisse inlassablement la chevelure de sa fille; signe de perfection, le lissage est, pour Violet et sa mère, un impératif qui conditionne leur quotidien. Jamais de laisser-aller ou de désinvolture; Violet, angoissée, affiche un éternel sourire, et prévoit tout, anticipe tout... jusqu'aux fiançailles auxquelles elle s'attend dur comme fer, ayant trouvé dans un placard une petite boîte cadeau qui ressemble fort à ce qui cacherait la bague tant désirée...C'était sans compter le destin qui, au détour d'un malencontreux arrosage, va faire basculer la vie de Violet et remettre en question ses certitudes; sa recherche d'une élégance irréprochable va stopper net, et ce sera pour elle l'occasion de faire une belle rencontre... celle avec elle-même.Actors
