The acting is effective, the direction by Alexandre Franchi is confident, and the cinematography by Claudine Sauve could hardly look more assured.

Those wearing black finger-polish are bound to appreciate it, but first-time feature director Alexandre Franchi deserves mainstream cred for his own cheeky role-play.

This is a masterful movie. Not only is it funny and serious but it leaves an impression. Different from the usual films made, it will make you laugh and haunt your dreams. Definitely recommended.

seek this movie out, but don't read anything about it. i saw it not knowing anything and it was definitely one of the most refreshing things i saw all this year. i hope the filmmakers involved go on to make more funny/intriguing/thrilling movies like this one
