The superb acting of Sandrine Kiberlain and Nicole Garcia as apparent foils drives this film into a maze of suspense, illogic, and ironic twists that result in a cinematic synergism rarely achieved. As the plot develops it becomes virtually impossible to determine who is less sane. Betty's role, as portrayed by Kimberlain, is in many ways no more sane that that of Garcia's as her mother. In fact, as the film progresses, one wonders if Betty and her mother are indeed more alike than different. Kiberlain's restrained tolerance and Garcia's divine madness result in the creation of two characters the viewer will not soon forget, if ever.
