You could rightly call it a thriller, but a slow-burning one, and a film that’s driven by character, not plot points. And that won’t do in Tinseltown. So enjoy the original, preferably in a theater, and revel in the rich, layered performances of veteran actresses Emmanuelle Devos and Nathalie Baye (men are incidental in this movie, another Hollywood no-no).

Moka is a lean, taut dramatic thriller that continually offers delicate surprises as it shifts and evolves, building toward an unexpected yet wholly satisfying conclusion. Read full review

The sound of the zipper on Diane’s handbag, for example, becomes extremely ominous in Mermoud’s capable hands, while two distinct musical themes, written by Christian Garcia and Gregoire Hetzel, respectively, further enhance the mood and help establish the film’s bona fides as a classy and classical psychological thriller.

Watching these two fine actresses circle each other in a kind of watchful alligator’s tango, each waiting for the other to blink first, is the chief pleasure on offer in Moka. Read full review

Fascinating in the way it explores the inner lives of these two women, Moka is never quite as tense or compelling on the level of a thriller. Read full review

Moka is a stark, moody mystery that doesn’t actually contain much mystery. Instead, it excels as a character study and a dynamic face-off between two formidable actresses: Emmanuelle Devos and Nathalie Baye. Read full review

Frédéric Mermoud's film makes an elaborate pretense of honoring the traditions of the observational procedural. Read full review

Thrilling to watch the duo of Emmanuelle Devos and Natalie Baye. Excellent acting with sparks between 2 great actresses. Slow-burning suspense thriller. Intense and unpredictable. A little melodramatic towards the end but overall a very enjoyable viewing experience.
