François Ozon directs Hélène Vincent, Josiane Balasko and Ludivine Sagnier in this gentle French thriller where a retired grandmother and her best friend’s criminal son find themselves embroiled in murders and betrayals.

Very Claude Chabrol. Lovely subtle performances that retain their internal mystery. Good twists and turns. Every scene drip feeds you new information. Probably the best thing Ozon has done in a while.
