Plot
A reserved housekeeper and a postal worker become friends and turn against the wealthy family she works for.
Sinekatalog’s take
Claude Chabrol's chilling thriller shows two women turning on a bourgeois family. Sandrine Bonnaire and Isabelle Huppert are superb, and the slow-burn class resentment builds to a shocking finish.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
