Synopsis

Three women in a Marseille apartment gets stuck in a heat wave. They find themselves trapped in a terrifying affair and longing for freedom.

Our take

Cowritten with Céline Sciamma, Noémie Merlant’s maximalist celebration of sisterhood skewers phallocentrism with Almodóvar-esque style. Girl-powered by kittenish camerawork and screams of laughter, this horror-comedy plays like a feminist reimagining of Rear Window for the age of the house share.
