Library Journal Review

An American living in Paris, Maureen (Kristen Stewart) works as a glorified gofer for a haughty celebrity too self-involved to buy her own clothes, jewelry, and the like. Haunted by the presumed specter of her deceased twin brother, Maureen also starts getting text messages from an unknown sender persuading her to try on her employer's haute couture-a definite no-no that ends up making her a suspect in the woman's subsequent murder. Director Olivier Assayas (Clouds of Sils Maria) blends supernatural and mystery elements in a uniquely intriguing mix. [See Trailers, LJ 9/1/17.] © Copyright 2017.
