Review of The Page Turner (2006) by Paul K — 13 Mar 2011
Excellent slow burning French revenge drama. Clocking in at around 85 mins, this is a neat little piece of work with solid performances throughout. Deborah Francois as the girl with the grudge Melanie has a natural cool and a hidden glint in her eyes that is only subtly conveyed throughout the movie, and her seeming lack of emotions is frighteningly real.
In retaliation for a childhood incident she coolly and very calculatedly seeks her revenge, and we helplessly watch it all unfold. We are left to marvel in morbid fascination of what one person can/will do to others, to right what they see as a wrong.
Engrossing and not overlong.
