At the start, Christine Blanc is a temp, her boyfriend has gone. Near the story's end, she's been offered a steady job, she has a fiancé, other men seem interested in her, she's passed her driving test, and, after she wins 1000 Euros in a scratch-off, her colleagues sing that she's a jolly good fellow ("one of us"). But something's askew: her gaze is too direct, her eyes open too widely; conversational gambits hit odd notes; she parrots others' words; she cooks too much food when she invites a supervisor to dinner. When the supervisor takes Christine on a spontaneous outing that disorients her, her oddities become something else. Can things ever be normal?
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
While the director's penchant for extended silences and stagy character positioning make it all seem rather studied, the drama nonetheless is compellingly unsettling.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Imaginatively acted, endlessly atmospheric.
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Alnoy's unnerving mood piece is spare and atmospheric, even funny. The movie is accomplished, but gets hung up on arty composition.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Alnoy's narrative is better suited to a trashy thriller than a vehicle for weighty political themes.
For all the smart visual design, though, She's One Of Us is frustratingly clinical.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Handsome but empty film.
The cryptic finale raises more questions than it solves. But She's One of Us is such a fine work that answers aren't necessary.
