Trivia:
This was the first film in the 69th edition of the Cannes International Film Festival to be booed by some of the critics. Other critics gave it rave reviews. In spite of the divisive reactions by the international critics, the film was later well-received by the audience at the premiere, who gave a long standing ovation. Olivier Assayas finally won the 'Best Director' award by the 'Official Competition' jury. See more »

Just saw this at the 12. Zurich Film Festival. For me, what really
stands out about this movie is the fact that you don't know where it is
going. It was a stressful experience, but i enjoyed it nonetheless. Is
it about something supernatural? Is it psychological? Is it ...? I've
seen a lot of movies in my life, but rarely one that is unsettling in a
very subtle way like this one. I was never really sure what to expect
from the movie, and at certain points it was quite unnerving. Honestly
at some point during the movie, i was JUST NOT SURE anymore where it
was going, which was very suspenseful and at the same time very
stressful, haha. Kristen Stewart, whose independent movies i like very
much anyway(The Yellow Handkerchief/Welcome to the Rileys/Speak etc),
delivers a great performance and really adds a lot to the mood, and you
can really feel her psychological stress, especially in a very well
done train sequence, and, well.. Telling any more would spoil the
experience i feel, that's why i stop now. It's best if you don't know
too much about the movie imo.
If you want to see something different/unique, you don't mind a slower
pace and you like it if circumstances are not always perfectly clear -
this is one for you. 8/10
