“This decadent murder-movie takes the online credo, “be gay, do crimes,” and runs with it — to delicious results.”~The New York Times

Aroview: A black comedy thriller from France about riches, bitches and patriarchal pricks, because when it comes to money all bets are off and all knives come out.

Laure Calamy plays a woman of little means who reaches out to meet her biological father who welcomes her with open arms and happens to be rolling in it. But things are complicated by her lesbian lover and the ladies of the luxury manse – a shopaholic matriarch, a couple of wild-child daughters and a creepy maid.
