The price of fame and the cost of fandom come crashing together in some amusingly suspenseful ways in Elle l'adore, the debut feature from French actress-turned-director Jeanne Herry.
Overview
A man and a woman both witness a car crash. They start talking and she takes him back to her apartment. A surprise awaits him there, as the apartment has a second occupant: ‘Her’.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This drily comic French thriller marks the feature debut of writer-director Jeanne Herry, whose deceptively calm surfaces and psychologically nuanced characterizations prove her a worthy student of Claude Chabrol.
A clever example of mainstream French cinema from the daughter of Miou-Miou and Julien Clerc.
Sandrine Kiberlain shines in this pacy, Paris-set and just-silly-enough thriller.
