      David Rooney Variety While the director's penchant for extended silences and stagy character positioning make it all seem rather studied, the drama nonetheless is compellingly unsettling. Feb 14, 2005 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter A French psychological thriller that boasts more style and atmosphere than credibility or coherence, Siegrid Alnoy's debut feature ultimately proves a more opaque experience than most audiences will have patience for. Feb 9, 2005 Full Review Nick Schager Filmcritic.com ludicrous Rated: 2/5 Jan 24, 2005 Full Review Keith H. Brown Eye for Film Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 7, 2007 Full Review Lewis Beale Film Journal International It's all about look and style, and almost devoid of interest. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Web Radio This prim white collar serf implodes nearly wordlessly within, a brutal mechanical product of corporate conformity with about as much personality as a xerox machine.

      Audience Member Stellar performance by Andres. Choppy directing. The transitions were confusing, and I was able to clarify some important plot points from the deleted scenes, which means some of them should have been left in. But the reason to watch is definitely Andres and her hypnotic stare. The ending was a little disappointing, with the singing in the car and all. Not that I was opposed to the concept behind the events in the final scenes, it just seemed to diminish the impact of the rest of the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A dumb French movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Frustrating. Managed to get in one really excellent scene, but overall the film's attempts at whimsy only make it grotesque and the thing is just too pent-up and discompassionate to carry itself. Staggers on ... and on ... and on. Wish I could have laughed at it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member an exquisite film. A great and bizzarre story. Beautifully photographed. Amazing location shots and a rich style and mood. This is a french film worth all it's subtitles! ;) Wonderful! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member One weird strange French movie. By the way, to point out how baller I am, I am responsible for this film being on the website as I suggested it. You might as well thank me in piss as this movie is simply mediocre. What the hell, right? Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member (*** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] I found this to be quite brilliant and different from the norm. Slow-paced and effective. Well-acted and directed. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
