Featured reviews
Philippe Torreton is a talented actor but without a true director he shows a tendency to overplay and the ending of the movie is pure Grand Guignol.The story lacks finesse,there's no real suspense and neither the mother nor the boy are capable of any emotion.One may remember how Clouzot or Franju held their audience spellbound.
I really loved this movie even though it leaves a slight bitter taste in the end. It is clever, well paced and very well acted. Both Philippe Toretton and Emmannuelle Seigner are deeply into their characters.
The little son "pierrot" is also very touching.
A thriller which does not seem like one. A very unconventional movie, very particular atmosphere throughout the whole movie though you might feel awkward a few times with a couple of scenes.
i'll give it a 8/10 !!
