This is a film for Audrey Tatou's fans.
The young directress, from "Mes stars et moi" does very feminine films, not in the best sense. Perfect setting, chic everything, Art is all around, romance is all that matters, nutty, hysterical women, catchy pop tunes... Tatou does Angelique, but supposedly "mad" now. As she's not convincing at all, the movie falters.
Beautiful Isabelle Carré, who starred "Maman est folle" and played the little girl in the gifted "Les enfants du marais", plays the doctor's wife, a character which never really leaves ground. Interestingly enough, she starred "Anna O." where she's, guess what, a loner who becomes in mad love with her doctor. ...
Clément Sibony, who starred "l'envol" with Isabelle, is reportedly pretty handsome according to my female company while watching the film. He's very convincing in an unconvincing role. Nice Élodie Navarre, from Reporters (TV) and Love, etc. is wasted here, her character suddenly gains importance, for then disappearing. Héloïse's character is insipid, which is a pity for it probably was supposed to serve as counterbalance to Angélique, but goes off the story at the time it should be more present, that is, in the last 1/3rd of the movie.
I've been told from a reputable cinema buff this film is a rip-off from "Fatal attraction" and the less obvious "The Crush (1993)" starring Alicia Silverstone as a 14 year old, the same mental age than Ángelique.
I never understood the genre of the film. Creative Amazon reviewer Simon (ON) writes "romantic thriller" which is probably even right, although it proves that him as well as other reviewers can be more intelligent than the film itself.
