Elle

Well this is a movie that's unlike anything else I've seen this year, and that's because the content shown will likely be polarizing for some people. Just the opening sequence alone will make people question what it is they are watching, as it starts with a rape scene, and that's not even the shocking thing. What the woman who was sexually assaulted immediately decides what to do and not to do next, sets the tone for the whole film. There's a dark sense of humor to the movie, that is not afraid to have taboo subject matters, and it's filled with a dysfunctional cast of characters who can be quite horrible; but in a civilized way.

The story in the movie can be quite twisted, mysterious, and just fascinating. This isn't just some revenge story by our protagonist, as there are multiple plot threads and turn of events that will just pull you in some more in wanting to see where things are going. The biggest draw of this movie however is Isabelle Huppert as Michele Leblanc, who is an amazing actress playing a vastly interesting character. If anything else, watch this movie for Isabelle Huppert.
