    A tight thriller. Huppert's performance is, as usual, brilliant.

    Like some of Hitchcock's films, the story - adapted from a novel by Charlotte Armstrong, an American mystery writer of the '40s and '50s - can be accused of stretching credibility and coincidence almost to the breaking point.

    Self-contained, enigmatic, illuminated from within, Huppert banks a performance that pays dividends throughout the film.
