Boarding Gate (2007)

There’s no chemistry between anyone in this sterile story structured around a woman with complex feelings toward two of her lovers. The lack of passion means the relationships are functional to the plot but empty and lifeless beneath the surface. That same coldness is echoed in the awful silver/blue lighting that we see all too often in films about corporate businesses. I hate that shit. There’s no warmth to any of it, meaning it sits at odds with the slutty allure that is Asia Argento’s usual currency.
It’s not until half the film has come and gone that anything remotely interesting happens. I wouldn't want to watch it a second time.
