In this diabolical Hitchcockian thriller, a working class woman named Stéphane (marvelously played by César Award-winning actor Laure Calamy) is on the brink of ruin, with her girlfriend (Suzanne Clément, Laurence Anyways) behind bars, her factory job driving her mad, and her living situation influx. With nowhere else to turn, she connects with the billionaire father she’s never met, wealthy capitalist Serge Dumontet (Jacques Weber) inserting herself into a mysterious world of the French upper crust. Stéphane is swiftly introduced to the strange universe of her estranged father, who lives in a luxurious, taxidermy-filled mansion on an island in the south of France where he’s surrounded by women — his wife, adult daughter, teenage granddaughter, and trusted maid — each with their own vendetta against the ailing octogenarian. But of course, nothing is quite what it seems.

Described by Sight & Sound as “a queer(er) Rebecca made by Claude Chabrol had he lived to see The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills,” the latest from director Sébastien Marnier (School’s Out, Frameline43) is a pulpy, sinfully entertaining confection of family skeletons, duplicitous women, toxic masculinity, and an enormous inheritance… where everyone hides a burning secret or two and absolutely no one is be trusted.
