Pros:
1. The cinematography is gorgeous, with the stand-outs being the really smooth camera-work, as well as the innovative and unique shots.
2. Pierre Fresnay (Le docteur Rémy Germain) and Pierre Larquey (Le docteur Michel Vorzet) both give great performances.
3. The scope of the movie is truly impressive, especially in regards to the amount of extras featured.
4. The film deploys subtle and intelligent critiques of the French upper class that never feels overbearing or out-of-place.
Cons: 1. There are too many characters, therefore there is not enough time spent on any of them to fully develop them. 2. The lack of a score makes the entire atmosphere feel rather flat for the most part. 3. Some of the scenes either feel pointless, or they drag on for a little too long. 4. The reveal of the Le Corbeau (The Raven) is exceedingly underwhelming, and you never find out why they went through all that trouble to undermine everyone's lives. 5. As a personal preference, the dark, gritty, and paranoid tone I was hoping for was sadly missing.
