User Reviews

Terrible film

How on earth Huppert agreed to do this film ? It's so bizarre and terrible that you really don't care after five minutes and you know you are wasting your time. Director tried to make a dark comedy but it turned out a disaster. You don't know what is it that you are watching, horror ? Social commentary to contemporary French society or a film goes wrong from the beginning
