Donald Jan 28, 2024 Nice color. Good performers. But a total waste of time. See more Charles Brooklyn Jan 1, 2024 Funny and kind of silly French period film (takes place in 1935). Modesty implausible plot but if you suspend disbelief it works. Excellent ensemble cast with two leads. See more Ghederick Eshmont Dec 31, 2023 A bit silly in a pedantic way…but fun with a compelling concept on feminine fame & true crime celebrity. See more Michael Dec 31, 2023 Ozon is a child. The actresses are strong but the adaptation of the play and the theatrical devices are unserious in a distracting way. I would not recommend this film. See more Bryan S Dec 27, 2023 Great fun French farce! See more Lucio D @luciodaou May 5, 2026 Ridiculously silly, absurd and funny. What a joy! It's light-hearted and a bit of a slapstick comedy. It's a snowball, starts lightly fun, but at the end, you just cannot laugh at it. Interestingly, I watched it after "The Stranger", and it's impossible not to relate the judgment scenes on both movies. They share some physical similarities, but most importantly, both judgments are also stages to bring up important themes, well beyond the crimes and their opposite motivations. Ozon's adapted version of Camus' masterpiece bring us a deep and unsettling questioning of the value of a human life. Here, despite the whole comedy setting, Ozon makes a witty and timeless critic on the absurdness of the still prevalent gender bias, aggravated by the almost 90-year gap between the release and the fictitious 1935 setting. It's a comedy, go watch and have some fun. See more Read all reviews
