This is the third Chabrol movie i watch. I liked a lot the "L'enfer" and i found the "La cérémonie" mediocre.
This is somewhere in the middle. I mean, i liked it, it was interesting and i could never guess where it goes : There are no big twists here but there are some unexpected turns. I didn't even imagine it would end like it ended. But still, this is not an exciting movie. Definitely this is not a crime/thriller movie, this is more of a drama. A character study. Pace is good, acting is even better, kinda dry overall but i was not alienated. I understood these characters even though i could never behave like they did, both "villains" and victims. Overall, a fine movie that most of cinephiles will enjoy. Just don't expect action and thrills.
