Noémie Merlant in front of and behind the camera in a brooding film where different genres come together. With the colours and the eccentric figures it looks like an older Almodóvar. Merlant quickly has the viewer hooked when the film starts. A film full of mystery that quickly gets out of hand and is anything but a romantic comedy.

As a viewer, you don't get a moment's rest. The 3 main roles are absolutely worth it. Only Merlant gradually gets stuck in the story. What starts with an interesting idea and nice characters, gradually gets into a knot. Merlant wants to convey an underlying message, which is not wrong in itself. Certainly not if it is important. But that message pushes the story away. The result is a very interesting film and I hope Merlant makes more films.

I don't often post comments, but I would like to do so here.

What a disgusting movie.

The message is that men are shit.

Merlant fails as a writer, director and one of the leading actors in this rudderless black comedy farce about three caricatured women who share an apartment and get into trouble after the deaths of a neighbour [François Cottrelle] and the sexy neighbour across the street [Lucas Bravo]. Nicole [Sanda Codreanu] is the mousy author who has sexual fantasies about the hunky neighbour, Ruby [Souheila Yacoub] a free-spirited cam girl (including colourful hair and make-up) and Elise [Noémie Merlant] a model who has just ended her relationship with Paul [Christopher Montenez]. A lot of poorly developed loose ideas, screaming, over-the-top acting, nonsensical references to Hitchcock and Fellini and a failed attempt at a feminist pamphlet.
