A successful atmosphere
Among the positive points of raptors, the users of Allociné highlight the tense atmosphere of the film. “”The film is distinguished by its ability to suggest horror rather than exhibiting it.

A breathtaking thriller on the second part of the film on the background of a complicated father/daughter relationship.“”
Actors welcomed

Cinemj33 adds:”The scenario will crescendo with a breathless last part. “

Same feeling on the art side the clown:”An impressive and stunning recital both from the actors and the scenario. “
A baclée end?
On the negative point side, some, like Shiki, regret an overly expeditious end: “The end is rushed, Baclée when we were finally starting to get into something interesting and taking. “Yves G. regrets” secondary stories without interest “:”What do the character interpreted by Jean-Pierre Darroussin bring-as great as the veneration that is dedicated to this impeccable actor-and his mission in Chambéry in the footsteps of two twins which we soon disinterested?“”
