Critic Reviews

  • Graham Young, Birmingham Mail

    Even by English-language black comedy standards, it's a decidedly odd mixture of fun and revenge.

  • Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK]

    Some definite laughs.

  • Julian White, Little White Lies

    Definitely more enjoyable when you break it down into bits and pieces in your head afterwards.

  • John Ferguson, Radio Times

    Although directors Gustave Kervern and Benoît Delépine strive a little too hard at times for outrage, it's still wickedly funny, and Moreau and Lanners are terrific as the grotesque anti-heroes.

  • David Parkinson, Empire Magazine

    A darkly funny film in the same vein as Micmacs, in this French crime caper political correctness gets le boot.
