Grant S @grantss Feb 19, 2013 Had potential, but falls back on the old French staple of style over substance. Some suspense, but drifts and feels contrived. Performance-wise, Isild Le Besco is irritating, but Emmanuelle Seigner provides the suitable gravitas, and hedonistic randomness, as the pop star. See more Jun 24, 2010 Incoherent, illogical, unattractive, boring, and pretentious. It's not remotely erotic or convincing. So shallow it's not even self-indulgent. The depth of the emotions stop at the tears. It sheds no insight to the world of a musical idol or the mentality of a psychopath. All characters (main or supporting) have no more life than the stuffed deer. This is a film that tries too much and achieves nothing. See more Jun 14, 2010 Obsessed fan gets a job running errands for her favorite singer. Great performance from Isild Le Besco as the awkward slightly crazy fan. See more Oct 23, 2009 Sensual and intense, with a love triangle as complicated as only the French can make it. A fine study of obsession and co-dependency, where an unbalanced fan is drawn into the even more insane world of her idol. See more Aug 10, 2008 Whoa. What an awesome premise/story. The first 10 minutes will suck you in astonishingly fast. Unfortunately, the film gets too caught up in being all european and psychologically erotic (ie. it drags and becomes tedious). But man, this needs an American remake pronto. See more Aug 9, 2008 Two hours of watching Isild Le Besco's character aimlessly feeding an obsession for a vaguely undeserving (and underserving) star would be worth it if either of them would sustain the occasional bit of growth and clarity they experience in the process, but it seems the most we can hope for is a bit of improvement in a life grounded somewhat less shallowly in reality. French or not, ennui is still more boring than noble. See more Read all reviews
