My feeling in general is that if two people no longer have anything in common but a will to remain friends, then it's likely that the will itself is likely wane as well over time - one or both of them will start thinking "But wouldn't it be nice to have a friend who shared ANY of my interests?"
But that might also depend on how much intensity the friendship demands. If this is a I-see-this-person-once-a-year-and-we-have-a-good-time-catching-up friend, that's much easier to keep going than a friend you see every day and you don't have anything in common any more.
In the particular case of this movie, Marie and Anne don't seem to have any friends aside from each other, which seems like a particularly combustible friendship situation: it might force them to keep hanging out (in fact, sometimes it seems like it has forced them to keep hanging out) because they have no alternatives, but in general I think that kind of isolation makes a friendship (or any relationship) more combustible. If you only have this one person and that person disappoints you, that's kind of a catastrophe.
