There are two sides to every story, and for this story there are definitely two sides, but which one is true? Audrey Tatou conveys some of her child-like pouty innocence and exuberance here this time around for an eerie and very creepy performance. In the story of woman obsessed with man, there's a twist here. Director-writer Laetitia Colombani and co-writer Caroline Thivel put a new ingenious twist on the formula, they present the side of the woman first, and boy is it skewed as we're played a trick on from the very beginning.

Tatou plays Angelique, a lonely girl whose experienced some love woes from a local doctor Loic whom she may or may not have had a tryst with, but as we witness her feign attempts to regain his attention and her inevitable horrible attempts at gaining hi attention, suddenly the story is twisted, and then we realize, what we're really witnessing at the attempts for attention from a deluded woman. It's impossible, first of all, to write this review and convey my love for this film without ruining some of the surprises, but they take the same old obsessed fatal attraction story and add a bit of a "Rashomon" twist to it with a completely different tale from the other end. The victim.

And boy as we watch and learn, we witness what is truly happening before our eyes. The doctor ignores all of Angelique's advances as subtle as they may be from flowers, to notes, and we watch as the doctor begins fearing for his own life as her advances quickly become creepier and more threatening. Soon we learn what a mere infatuation can have on one person as Angelique, constantly being swayed by another man but deflecting his advances while he is completely unaware of her obsession. Tatou is creepy here with an eerie and threatening performance beneath her doe-y eyed innocence and pouting smiles.

The film manages to successfully twist and turn to a Hitchcockian tone with a story that continues thickening in tension and suspense as Loic is unaware of the threat that is so close to him, yet so far. Writers Laetitia Colombani and Caroline Thivel twist a suspenseful yarn with a more than terrifying villain, a distressed lonely girl with every facet to cause damage to a man's life, and love. I was hooked from the very beginning since watching Tatou in the masterpiece "Amelie" and then suddenly watch her twist the image I had of her into a deformed and somewhat distraught creature that is more dangerous than all the Glenn Close's and Erika Christensen's in the world. Forgiving the cliché plot, the writer’s doe a lot with this and then some and once the twist comes to you; it hooks you in, because you've been played for a fool. The ending will leave many cringing in sheer spookiness as it did me, and you'll be stunned at what you've just seen.

This is one of the more surprising films of the last ten years with great characterization, a great script and a surprise plot twist that really made this such a treat to watch. Tatou is adorable and menacing both at the same time creating a very underrated on-screen villain.
