Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The strength of this movie is how it starts as a standard whodunit only to become something else: a cunning Chabrol study of incest and old money peppered with a wicked sense of humor.

fresh:
Leave reason behind, back in steerage class, and simply breathe in the foibles of the (upper) crust on this creme brulee.

fresh:
Told without drama, as if this were just an ordinary family, it is the subtleties of the details that win you over.

fresh:
Each of the characters in the film is so real, so fully drawn, that you feel you know him or her as a person, not as fiction.

A minor work from a major talent.
