CGiii Comment

Mr Assayas won 'Best Director' @ Cannes with this 'companion piece' to Clouds of Sils Maria...sometimes, the whole awards system makes you wonder! Especially when this film received a hefty 'boo-ing' followed by a standing ovation...how fickle!

It begins [well] with spookiness. It ends [not-so well] with spookiness. The problem is...what's in-between (apart from the [too few] spooky bits)...this eye-bashing testimony to [high-end] product placement. Ms Stewart's star power can certainly finance a film.

There's a 20-monotonous-minute text conversation that amounts to - hold on tightly to your hats, folks - Kirsten Stewart donning an expensive dress!

There's a murder that amounts to the only suspect [possible] being - very quickly - arrested. There are a whole host of scenes showing Ms Stewart being rather nifty on a moped! There's even a ghost...spewing ectoplasm!!!

Confused? This film certainly is!
