Two Internal Affairs detectives, both women, land in a provincial police precinct to investigate the death of an Algerian informer. One hits hard, the other ogles, tip top. The film is based on a thriller by British writer Bill James. Bozon and his co-writers relocate the action to France, specifically to Villeneuve, a district of Lille with a notable North African population.
"If nothing else, Huppert and Kiberlain make for a wonderfully odd cop couple, suggesting a strange cross between Cagney & Lacey and Jacques Rivette’s Celine and Julie, Huppert’s fiery Esther barreling through the film in a starched turquoise suit that seems fused to her ramrod-straight body, while Kiberlain’s mousy Sally brings up the rear in a baggy white sweater and oversized spectacles." (Variety)
