Trivia:
Director Alice Winocour wrote the film for Matthias Schoenaerts. They worked on this project together for two years. Winocour told that Schoenaerts has an animalistic side that felt perfect for the character, she wanted to film him like men film women, like an object of desire, even though his character has more depth than that. He also had to play a character with a fragile state. See more »

Rating: 8/10
This is not your usual "home invasion" film.It's above all an
incredible sensory experience.Alice Winocur (who directed 2 years ago
the magnificent "Augustine") creates a great combo between drama &
paranoid thriller.And don't expect a love story ala Bodyguard. Matthias
Schoenaerts is phenomenal as usual.It's quite an intense
performance.You're truly seeing things through the eyes of his
emotionally damaged character. Diane Kruger is also solid but the movie
truly belongs to King Matthias.The ending could have been slightly
better but it doesn't take anything away from the quality of the film.
The soundtrack is also very catchy : Gaffelstein is a genius ! He
creates a very atmospheric environment. A must see !
