Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
In the House is a tour de force about two yarn-spinners -- Claude and Germain -- whose lives devolve into chaos.

The film treats imagination-and talent-in certain hands as an almost mystical force.

fresh:
Ozon and the script move a little too far afield and hold on a bit too long as the film approaches its end. Still, "In the House" has enough trippy truth to it to grab your interest and shake your mind.

It's fiction about life that becomes fiction that might be life - and the viewer happily dives in.

The expected punch line... never materializes, so I guess this must be a drama after all.
