Pfeiffer and Hedges are perfectly cast as a New York socialite and her aimless son who flee to Paris after she spends the last of her late husband's inheritance. Darkly comedic with supernatural touches that keep surprising. One too many quirky contrivances, but Pfeiffer creates a deliciously wicked and multi-faceted antihero.
