Siegrid Alnoy's dark allegorical thriller tells the tale of an outsider who must confront her own personal demons after tragedy strikes. Christine (Sasha Andres) is a young secretary who works as a temp at various offices in her small French town. Consistently ignored by everyone around her, Christine desperately craves a connection of some sort. She finds it in Patricia (Catherine Mouchet), her recruiter at the temp agency. The two begin to spend time together, but when the relationship appears to be evolving into something truly genuine, Christine snaps and brutally murders Patricia. Miraculously, it is after this incident that the pieces begin to fall into place for Patricia. She gets a full-time job and moves into an apartment with her new boyfriend. But the guilt never goes away, and when a young coworker (Pierre-Felix Graviere) and a police inspector (Carlo Brandt) start asking questions, Christine commits a truly redemptive act. Alnoy's debut feature is an attack on the suffocating, inhumane conditions of modern society. Employing an abstract visual style and subjective point-of-view, Alnoy thrusts viewers into the confused mind of a deeply troubled soul. Much like Bruno Dumont's HUMANITE, SHE'S ONE OF US takes a heightened, symbolic approach to its subject matter, resulting in a film that is brave and challenging. [More]

Prairie Miller

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.

David Rooney

While the director's penchant for extended silences and stagy character positioning make it all seem rather studied, the drama nonetheless is compellingly unsettling.

Frank Scheck

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.

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

She's One of Us is an eerie French film that deals with formidable emotions that less adventuresome directors have found too hot to handle.

Maitland McDonagh

Alnoy's narrative is better suited to a trashy thriller than a vehicle for weighty political themes, but her limpid images, unexpected angles and long, dreamy takes create a beguilingly hypnotic atmosphere of hazy dislocation.

Alnoy produces and maintains a unsettling mood that draws viewers in while keeping them guessing.

Alnoy's unnerving mood piece is spare and atmospheric, even funny.

The familiar visual signposts of alienation are spiffily arrayed in Siegrid Alnoy's handsome but empty film debut.

Siegrid Alnoy's occasionally affecting but overdetermined debut feature mines the most unstable sector of the white-collar class: the temp.
