Thanks for sharing.  You should add Huppert's name in the subject title! |

Think of your favorite actor, or musician, or writer - are they willing ever to look foolish? I mean genuinely foolish - foolish enough that you question their motivation, their choices, their well......sanity.  Are they willing ever to go so far out on a limb that most of us never even see the limb to begin with? Well Isabelle Huppert is my favorite actress and she has repeatedly walked up to that line of ludicrous and "unrealistic" and foolish and created some characters that other actors will never get remotely near - it's a different kind of great - a whole different thing entirely. |

If I’m supposed to find this funny, it’s working.
If I’m not, well... that’s pretty bad.

This looks a lot more fun than I was expecting. Shame the trailer spoiled everything though. Huppert going gonzo like no one else can. In!

Saw this a few months ago. I can’t exactly say it was good but I had so much fun watching it. Isabelle was hilarious. Would you describe it as a dark comedy ? |

This looks like it could either be really good or really bad.
I wish that the trailer had a bit more vagueness to it, because I really think they gave away far too much.

Isabelle Huppert looks really over-the-top here, and in a good way.

I liked the trailer. First of all, I knew she was trapping people with the purse. Hmmm, guessing she killed her daughter and is looking for replacement.

Yeah, I'm not trusting anyone's tastes that thinks this looks good...
That was horrible.

Greta's marketing campaign has been really interesting and absolutely hilarious like this. Probably seeing it tonight, can't wait. |

I don't understand what you all are watching. To me it looks awful.

~6/10 but a glorious Huppert - that not many will get - and a sort of impressive handling of her too by Neil Jordan (its negligible as a film but he has his moments too - and it's better than Unsane same time last year).
People always say ridiculous stuff regarding acting - oh Brando was so great in On he Waterfront - yeah, great insight, thanks - if you want to see why he's great see him in material that any other actor would not be vivid in at all - The Chase or Night Of the Following Day - that's where you learn about actors in their lesser work (that btw is not him "raising the material" - which doesn't happen near as much as you'd think or people claim, that's actually BS).
Huppert here is a marvel - she's not "just" OTT - she's engaging clearly in what George C. Scott used to call the joy in the performance. Almost no one has that - Jake Gyllenaal didn't in Velvet Buzzsaw, he was fine, but was there "joy" there? Nope, I don't think there was......
But the very best actors do this - and every little shift in the gradations here that shape this characterization is on point with this performers history. The way she pets her leg when talking to Moretz on the phone - as if she's stroking her and it's comforting to herself too - the way she does not blink when assessing and judging Moretz, and the way her smile and her frown look eerily similar too.
Lots of people will hate it but lots of people want something more literal too and that's not in play here - she's not on that plain. To use her phrase in this film she is not giving a "euphemism" of a performance but rather a specific one. The one she's giving is not only rooted in her filmography (not too different from her Law & Order SVU turn actually!) and rooted in English language horror history (not too different from Vincent Price, who could teach a thing or two about joy in performance to sullen killjoys actually).
I literally could watch this movie be like 10 hours and its not that good anyway. There is a scene late in this film where she meets Stephen Rea that is some of her most sly and wittiest acting you'll come across and will really make the IRS seem more horrifying than ever - in her words Death and Taxes.
In my words Death. Taxes. The greatness of Huppert......
