Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
In a profession that routinely casts aside leading ladies when they hit 40, it's a shame a great one had to take her act to France to remind us that actors, like wines, only improve with age.
This is a thriller, though, in the sense that it is a thrill to watch Scott-Thomas give one of the finest performances of the year.
Despite its flaws, the movie pulls you in with its squarely realistic setting and subdued performances. Best of all is Thomas.
[The] final twist undoes the film to some degree, [but] it cannot undo Scott Thomas's performance, one of the marvels of this, or any, cinematic year.
