Storyline
Ruthless executive Christine brings on Isabelle as her assistant, and she takes delight in toying with the young woman's innocence.

User Review

Hell

Rating: 8/10


Someone who says that only men are capable of cruelty has not watched
this movie. A fine example of cruelty and a very good movie (with very
good actresses as well). I won't spoil anything about the story or the
characters, but I can tell you that it is more about the road than the
ultimate goal. It isn't very hard to see where this is heading and you
might also see what it achieves to do.

Still very well made and executed with the mentioned central
performances that are just amazing. The women go head to head (with
different style and results of course), which might be enough for you
to not see the obvious flaws. It was as you can see and read, enough
for me.
