This is a strange movie that seems to be fighting with itself. It wants to say something about a male dominated world, which it does in a pretty obvious way, from the perspective of both the police and the wider society, but it spends so much time as a procedural that you expect there to be some sort of mystery. However, that entire aspect of the film is almost irrelevant because there is no-one in the film that is a convincing suspect, and the film doesn't want to provide you with one to make that point that anyone could be the murderer because men are violent. The director means well but the structure of the film ruins what he is trying to say.

This movie brings another vision about police investigations in murder cases. I love the atmosphere of the movie where [spoiler]Mysoginism is rampant in the police ranks. Police Captain tries to do his job without judgement unlinke his colleagues. The difficulties of being an investigator are shown to the spectator during all the movie. All the movie explains how it's hard to investigate where everyone in society can be guilty.[/spoiler]

Almost similar to a French 'Zodiac'. It focuses on the frustration of a team of detectives trying to solve the horrific murder of a young girl in France. The tension of the group boils over and the acting by the whole cast is extremely good. It's very well directed by Dominik Moll who made the excellent 'Only the Animals' in 2019, but sort of runs out of steam in the final act. 7.4/10

Like a meeting that could've been an email. "It shows the underbelly of a police investigation and we get a glimpse inside the detective's head..." Are you kidding me!? That's what every freaking cop movie does now. For once I'd like to see the overbelly of an investigation and what happens outside of a detective's head. (Actually, it's possible if you watch a Korean noir film, which you should be doing instead of watching this made-for-movie TV show.)

This is a fictional interpretation of an actual crime that sees newly promoted "Vivés" (Bastien Bouillon) take his team of Grenoble detectives to a small town to investigate a grisly murder. Walking home from a friend's house the previous morning, "Clara" (Lula Cotton-Frapier) is confronted by a st More
