Review: LOUISE-MICHEL

LOUISE-MICHEL (3-Stars): A jaw-dropping, politically incorrect revenge comedy from France that’s inspired in its lunacy but eventually goes off the rails. The day after getting new smocks and a pep talk about their company’s future, the female work force of a small-town toy company show up to find the whole building’s been cleared out and their employers are nowhere to be found. For revenge they decide to hire a hitman to kill the company owner, but the person they choose isn’t quite what he says he is, nor is the illiterate worker that finds him. Brutally funny in spots, unfortunately the film just can’t sustain its momentum.
