Quotes:
Mademoiselle:
Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves... they are transfigured.

Not knowing what to expect, and prejudice towards french films had me wondering if this was worth my precious time. Well it delivered for me movies have to meet 3 criteria:
1) Don't let figure out the ending.
This movie had me fooled but never confused. 2) Do something to keep me watching.
There were times when I was repulsed and disgusted by this movie
but couldn't stop watching it. 3) Evoke a emotional response
There wasn't a moment in this movie where i wasn't feeling
anxious or disturbed
This was a great movie and i would recommend everyone watches it but it should come with an extreme warning, this movie was not scary, it was disturbing and at time you'll feel ashamed of yourself for watching it. But, In the end you'll be glad you did.
