He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2002)

Based on the poster art one might misconstrue this French film for a passionate love story. And while passionate love may come into play, it is in fact a disturbing thriller. The title is a fitting representation of the story as it is segmented into a he said/she said format. The first half follows our free-spirited main character Angèlique (Audrey Tautou) as she falls hard for a married doctor who strangely never seems to return the same affection. The plot takes a real turn in the latter half as we are treated to the reality of the situation. Some may see the twist coming but it's handled in such a clever way that it doesn't matter.
