  A quirky murder mystery/who-done-it caper starring a femme fatale cast of French beauties to die for. The script is funny and engaging, the characters are over the top and exciting and the set, colours and little details are stylish and oozing with class. On top of all that, it's a musical!! That was a very pleasant surprise, as was the entire film to be honest. Highly recommended!

  I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was strange and they kept breaking out in song for no apparent reason. It was a movie I could recommend to that guy who always came into FYE and asked for movies that take place in one place (the movie takes place entirely in a house, almost in… More
  I actually really enjoyed this movie. It was strange and they kept breaking out in song for no apparent reason. It was a movie I could recommend to that guy who always came into FYE and asked for movies that take place in one place (the movie takes place entirely in a house, almost in just one room). It's definitely not a movie for everyone but if you like quirky foreign films, give it a chance.

  So bad it's good. With IMDb genre tags of Musical, Comedy, and Crime, it pretty much has to be. The songs are farcical nonsense - all character songs, nothing to further the plot - and the cinematography is staid, but I'm pretty sure that's intentional. Nevertheless,… More
  So bad it's good. With IMDb genre tags of Musical, Comedy, and Crime, it pretty much has to be. The songs are farcical nonsense - all character songs, nothing to further the plot - and the cinematography is staid, but I'm pretty sure that's intentional. Nevertheless, it's nice to see all these beautiful legends of French cinema camping it up. Isabelle Huppert and Fanny Ardent are scrumptious. I want Emmanuelle Beart's face. <i>Silence of the Lambs</i>-style. Just cut it off and wear it.

  A bizarre and quirky French musical murder mystery. Each character reveals new plot points and has something to hide. The songs are beautifully written and well executed. The costumes and set design help to create a realistic atmosphere.

  Pretty odd french film , which I don't recomend.

• John B

  
  Wow! This is fabulous film featuring some of the best actresses of French cinema since the Second World War. It is an intelligent story and is presented as a smart musical...which is very hard to pull off.

  Tricky. Mysterious. Strangely sexy.

  Engaging whodunit set in roughly the 1930's as 8 women are trapped one snowy day together after Catherine Deneuve's husband is discovered murdered in his bed. Once forced to confront each other, enough skeletons come barging out of the closet to re-enact the undead army in <i>Jason and the Argonauts</I>. This is a real treat for French cinema fans with a dream cast including Deneuve, the stunning Emmanuelle Beart, Virginie Ledoyen, then-newcomer Ludivine Sagnier, and scene-stealing Isabelle Huppert as an uptight spinster. Everyone is solid and enjoying themselves as the tone never veers into heavy drama, despite the adult themes. The audience is soon clued into this when the first musical number is absurdly sprung 20 minutes in! That's right, this parlor murder mystery features a song for each of the ladies to perform, which they do with their own voice a la <i>Moulin Rouge</i>. The lyrics shed a little light on each character but are essentially inconsequential, the songs are mere vaudevillian diversions. Some might find these interludes ridiculous, which they are and in almost any other movie I would be rolling my eyes too, but for whatever reason I enjoyed these flights of fancy. They all know how to deliver a tune! Much backstory is overlooked and the way the film ends is not completely satisfying, but this amusement park attraction is well worth the ride.

  Fresh and lovely french murder-mystery that touches upon the comedy and musical genre. Dark, yet manages to be bubbly and smart. I was surprised to find such an excellent cast of talented french actresses all in one film. It's cheesy, it's quirky, I loved it.

  An odd choice for a musical but it's fun and visually enjoyable as well as featuring a few wonderful French actresses.

  Shoot the stars.Alternative titles for progressive musicals.Ozon like Winterbottom knows how to dig deep in the editing core and unleash a brand-new measure of unlimited distinction.Oh Beart,Darrieux,all ladies take my breath away...although murder isn't their fashion!

  A campy murder mystery musical?! Sounds like the best idea EVER! :)

  A unique and bizarre musical murder mystery. The songs were laughable and most of them were rather bad, except for Emmanuelle Beart's song and the delightful 'Mon amour, Mon ami' (though Marie Laforet's original is far better). A great cast as well featuring some… More
  A unique and bizarre musical murder mystery. The songs were laughable and most of them were rather bad, except for Emmanuelle Beart's song and the delightful 'Mon amour, Mon ami' (though Marie Laforet's original is far better). A great cast as well featuring some of France's best, but to me it was Isabelle Huppert's performance that really stood out - 'Combs never sleep!'
