"Simone
Weil was asexual, anorexic and argumentative but she also admired
Charlie Chaplin. Betsan Llwyd's remarkable central performance
brings out her stature as a writer and thinker but also her struggle
against ideological systems, which distort the individual in favour
of systemised thought patterns.
Llwyd presents Simone as a woman made physically ill by her studies,
wracked with migraines, her foot twitching, and hunched up against
the cold of the interrogation centre. Her imaginary conversations
with the likes of French leader Charles De Gaulle are intercut
with her reminiscences of her mother, who projects another struggle
in Simon's life - her refusal to conform to the demands of family
and domesticity"
