Our take

Romantic resentment and social unrest amusingly collide in Catherine Corsini’s combative comedy where an emergency room doubles as a microcosm of French society. A prescient farce that ingeniously weaves personal and political discontent, The Divide is an acerbic diagnosis of our modern maladies.
