🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Bruno Podalydès constructs a classic locked-room puzzle but uses it as a framework for a light, theatrical comedy. He builds the narrative on witty dialogue and eccentric characters, exploring the absurdities of ambition and social convention rather than the grim mechanics of crime.
Those who tire of gritty procedurals will find a charming pastiche where deduction meets farce. What lingers after the final reveal is not shock, but a sense of playful cleverness. — MovieFinder Editorial
