    A classic of realistic terror, in which passion and murder can't lie buried.

    Deceptively understated and finally ferocious.

    Claude Chabrol makes his particular kind of unnerving, deliciously amoral thrillers look easy. Once you've made as many of them as he has, they probably are.

    A merrily macabre things-we-do-for-love yarn.

    This was by far the worst comedy I have seen. So incredibly painful to watch. The movie was way to hyped up and I was really disappointed. The scenes that are supposed to be funny need more editing as they just drag on. I spent half my time fast forwarding through it. Really pointless. We all know that it will end with a happy ending. So incredibly predicable. Who are this critics anyway that give it such a high score???… Expand
