The Most Assassinated Woman In The World - 2018 - 6/10
AKA - La Femme la Plus Assassinée du Monde
Decadent premise, the ebbing nights of the Grand Guignol.
Well thought out backstage mise-en-scènes, allusions to troupe interactions.
Potentially compelling backstory for our main heroine, Paula Maxa
Acting theatrical, if not melodramatic, fitting for the subject matter of onstage murders being mirrored out on the cobblestone alleys.
For all that, the script, written by committee, is a muddled attempt.
Predictable shocks, with a serving spin at the end.
Felt like the creative team over-compromised.
