Generally nice and very entertaining movie that manages to give you a strong feeling of anxiety especially in the final moments. But it has flaws especially in the final where the plot degenerates and becomes meaningless, it seems that they have half thrown away the final moments and it's a shame because the film is very nice.

Nice
Bigger screen
Streaming services have taken over - and I'm not saying that in a bad sense. There are a lot of good productions out there and a lot of people get funding through them. On the other hand, some movies might not get a theatrical release even when they might have deserved one.
So one of those is right here. I might have had the chance to watch it on the big screen (Frightfest) and it really is a great thriller that is quite twisted. I have to admit I didn't see certain things coming, but I really just dived in without any prior knowledge and also without thinking too much while watching the movie. It is a great story and the acting is really good and you should not get discouraged that it is inspired by real life events/actress. It's only losely based on that and that's why I didn't even bother researching more about the real woman. You can if you want to, after you've seen the movie. I don't think it should make a difference. Just enjoy the (thrill) ride
Very stylish and engaging thriller based on a true story
I was instantly hooked on watching this when it became apparent that this film has the style of Dario Argento all over it. From the very first scene I thought that did Netflix give funding to Dario to make this. Very good imitation, not overdone and honors the inventor of this arthouse giallo genre. This film does deserve to get to the silver screen some time. Unlike many other Netflix produced films, this was in better quality than the others.
One interesting thing was the fact that this actress and this theatre in Paris had existed in reality up until 1962.
