The Most Assassinated Woman in the World

Streaming services have taken over - and I'm not saying that in a bad sense. There are a lot of good productions out there and a lot of people get funding through them. On the other hand, some movies might not get a theatrical release even when they might have deserved one.

So one of those is right here. I might have had the chance to watch it on the big screen (Frightfest) and it really is a great thriller that is quite twisted. I have to admit I didn't see certain things coming, but I really just dived in without any prior knowledge and also without thinking too much while watching the movie. It is a great story and the acting is really good and you should not get discouraged that it is inspired by real life events/actress. It's only losely based on that and that's why I didn't even bother researching more about the real woman. You can if you want to, after you've seen the movie. I don't think it should make a difference. Just enjoy the (thrill) ride

Excellent French film about the Grand Guignol theater in the early part of the 20th Century. Impressive period details, engaging plot and interesting twists. I loved that much of the film took place in the theater itself. Perhaps some of the supporting characters weren't as fully developed as I would have liked (never sure where the "bad" theater manager was coming from) and I always prefer complex three dimensional characters instead of caricatures, but I enjoyed all the other dark shadings given to most. And a rather lovely "dark" ending that skirts close to a movie cliche, twice, before revealing it's something far deeper and more meaningful. For all parties involved. And in response to some of the other reviewers; on my TV the photography was extremely well done! I had no problem seeing what was going on, and, honestly, I worry some folks might need to see an ophthalmologists or optician or maybe they had their fingers too close together as their hands covered their eyes during the creepy and bloody bits.

I tried too see it on Netflix. I cannot even see the movie as everything is Dark .

How was the director able to see what was happening. Cannot make out the characters most of the time.

I was instantly hooked on watching this when it became apparent that this film has the style of Dario Argento all over it. From the very first scene I thought that did Netflix give funding to Dario to make this. Very good imitation, not overdone and honors the inventor of this arthouse giallo genre. This film does deserve to get to the silver screen some time. Unlike many other Netflix produced films, this was in better quality than the others.

One interesting thing was the fact that this actress and this theatre in Paris had existed in reality up until 1962.
