Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
This is one of Chabrol's most elegant, acerbic and heartfelt entertainments in years.

fresh:
Claude Chabrol's capacity to make shopworn material seem almost new is especially evident in this 2007 drama.

fresh:
While not a classic, this is a pleasantly disturbing, nominally voyeuristic romp in the territory Chabrol knows best.

fresh:
Spectacularly assured, A Girl Cut in Two keeps you off-balance as it establishes a world where every conversation is a flirtation, and trouble and heartbreak sneak in on little cat feet when no one's looking.

fresh:
More than a century later, this is still a juicy story, and the actors don't back away from its more hysterical flourishes.
