Isabelle Huppert is very handy in performing such psychopathic characters. A simple look or expression, even standing quietly, can give people a sense of aggressive aura and create a chilling atmosphere . This feels like a script created by Huppert's loyal fans, because there are many clips in the film that recall the inspirational moments in her classic works in the past, and the scene of severely reprimanding the super-killer girl is like Haneke's "The Piano Teacher" The upper body, and the scene of standing on tiptoes and dancing after the climax of poisoning the police corresponds to Chabrol's depiction of the joy of killing a middle-class family in "Grim Memorial".
The central theme of the film, however, is ambiguity. Director Neil Jordan has always been good at portraying marginal roles in society and integrating into complex political and cultural backgrounds to highlight the tenacity and unique side of human nature in the torrent of the times. However, the themes of this film are extremely confusing, from the collision and opening of the lonely souls of strangers in the cultural melting pot (New York), to the projection of the distorted relationship between mother and daughter; from the well-designed psychological thriller and suspense drama to the almost An out-of-control horror film; from a realist-style urban single female survival warning record, it turned into a dark adult hard-tasting fairy tale. The plot always revolves around the dislocation gaps of several different types of films. On the surface, it seems that the gimmick is full of humor and humor, but in fact it is a perfunctory work. .
