Who knew empowerment could be so winning and so simultaneously grotesque? Go to Full Review

3/5
Even by English-language black comedy standards, it's a decidedly odd mixture of fun and revenge. Go to Full Review
John Ferguson Radio Times 03/31/2011
3/5
Although directors Gustave Kervern and Benot Delpine strive a little too hard at times for outrage, it's still wickedly funny, and Moreau and Lanners are terrific as the grotesque anti-heroes. Go to Full Review

02/26/2021 Absurd, grotesque, hilarious and dry. See more 10/03/2016 I can't say it was fun but I enjoyed this. It was hilarious, in a low key sort of way, Some unexpectedly beautiful moments amongst the visual drek. I suspect I would have "gotten" more of the references if I had known more about the original Louise Michel. See more 01/30/2016 cinegeek.de Our Daily Free Stream: Louise Hires A Contract Killer. Ein Berg von einer Frau: Die Haare hängen fettig um den Kopf und wir tragen Sorge, dass sich die Besitzerin, Louise-Michel, davon nicht selbst gestört fühlt.

Brilliant. See more 08/18/2013 If the French made a live action Family Guy episode about an out of work textile worker and an inept hitman then this would be it. Some very funny moments along with some decided misses. See more 05/22/2011 The directors of this dark comedy seem to have insisted on having quirky focal points in almost every scene. Admittedly these are highly original and it is quite a feat that they sustain it, except that it totally obliterates any sense of the overall serious message I think they were hoping to make. Something about capitalism and the plight of the worker? All very relevant and all lost, sadly. I think the French are in a rut churning out these kinds of oddball things, the same way the Brits can't leave alone the cockney gangster. See more Read all reviews
