Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Eckleburg Netflix has been doing a great job at broadening its scope by offering yet another solid European TV thriller to their subscribers (see Hôtel Beauséjour and La Trêve as other worthy mentions). Le Chalet is a product of France set in a secluded village in the Alps jumping in between two timelines 20 years apart to slowly unveil its mystery. There is something to be said about the minimalist nature of this show and others of similar regional background. Le Chalet succeeds in grabbing your attention with a talented cast and a thirst to uncover the troublesome events and mystery surrounding the village and its inhabitants. The seamless interweaving of past and present scenes to tell a story coupled with convincing characters backed by solid performances makes for a simple, winning formula here. Another well executed aspect is the tension between some of the characters that aids in giving the story more weight; the unease felt through certain interactions brings about a further sense of involvement. Shifting away from the performances, a good point of reference for Le Chalet in terms of plot and influence is the novel "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. If you've read and enjoyed that book there is a fairly good chance you'll take a liking to this show.My only gripe is with how the ending could have been more dramatic given the greater level of emotion on display throughout the majority of this miniseries. The ending sequences were somewhat anticlimactic thus makes the show end on a bit of a flat note. Despite this minor reservation, Le Chalet is a good showing of talent and a welcome addition to the growing number of movies and shows away from Hollywood.

Yohi Badash I gotta say, Netflix french shows are very good and i am captivated by them. i saw this one twice in a row in one week! it is THAT good. plus, after you find out the identity of the killers, you HAVE to watch it again and then notice all the clues. it is a really good show. the actors are great as well. very convincing and the whole vibe around it is just so good. i love it that the story has an ending. not like all the tv shows that go on and on even though i got addicted to this show very fast and wish it had more episodes. i do hope netflix will keep making shows as good as this one.

amelia_g-p Great slow-burn thriller. Great acting, writing, music, cinematography, and storyline. The setting in the French Alps is seriously atmospheric and reminds me of another great French series, Les Revenants. A couple of loose ends could have been tidier but the captivating plot makes this more than ok in my opinion. Rewarding viewing - highly recommended.

sandytarrdesign As with " The Sixth Sense" a repeat watch brings home the story and subtleties. This series has an interesting premiss, good acting, and interesting direction and editing.The slow pace, music, and setting create an eerie atmospheric quality. I did need to rewatch to get who was who.
