Vertiges

Un amuse-gueule divertissant avec une belle touche formelle, une distribution intéressante et une issue insaisissable remplie de questions. Cependant, l'accent est davantage mis sur le respect des formules de genre que sur la création d'une œuvre distinctive et raffinée qui serait aussi intéressante (voire plus intéressante) lors d'un deuxième visionnage. Après tout, c'est un remake grand public interprété par des stars, qui excellent dans le genre. (05/07/2019)

A failed attempt at modern Hitchcock, with so many shocking twists and turns that halfway through I didn't really care whether the chick from Transformers was killed off by Dredd, Cyclops, young Scofield, Cameron from Modern Family or the Belgian whose last name I can't spell. (10/05/2015)

It's a modern homage to Hitchcock, but the content is too layered and the screenwriting too inept. The twists piling on top of each other cease to be clear, but with each successive effort to decipher them, they become increasingly sophisticatedly as the film progresses. So while the male cast is typically from the life of the bourgeoisie, the female cast is at least strange and sometimes quite out of place. The talented cast didn't save it in the finale, but it's not a bummer either. I'm not comparing it to the original films. (23/07/2016)

Even though the ending is very unsatisfactory and it just felt like one big cliché to me, it's still a movie that managed to captivate me and successfully unfold a quite interesting plot in one large apartment. Maybe it's sometimes overly complicated, but even that aspect worked for me in the story. Additionally, there are great performances by the actors. Isabel Lucas is incredibly sexy, but she always is.
