Vicki says: “In this, his last film, Alain Corneau creates a taut psychological thriller with Kristin Scott Thomas and Ludivine Sagnier squaring off. Thomas plays Christine, a cold conniving high powered office executive to Sagnier’s seemingly innocent and supportive office assistant, Isabelle. When Christine claims that one of Isabelle’s ideas is hers, Isabelle gloves come off and the battle begins. The plot often seems to be heading in one direction, but takes a turn that might not be pulled off were it not for the performances of the two actresses.”
