A sweet, naive young woman trying to make it on her own in New York City, Frances doesn't think twice about returning the handbag she finds on the subway to its rightful owner. That owner is an eccentric French piano teacher with a love for classical music and an aching loneliness. The two become fast friends, but the older woman's maternal charms begin to dissolve and grow increasingly disturbing as Frances discovers that nothing is what it seems in this suspense thriller. "...by virtue of its two lead performers, winds up being far more enjoyable than it has any right to be."--Variety. "Greta is visually seductive, and every frame of it seems considered and carefully chosen."--San Francisco Chronicle. "Jordan does a fine job building the tension and dread throughout, never overreaching into melodrama, while allowing Huppert to morph in stages from elegant older woman into unhinged virago."--Toronto Star.
