Would-be novelist Nicole sits on her balcony in search of inspiration, but her mind keeps wandering to the hunky guy lurking in his window across the street\u2026 Enter Ruby, her cam-girl roommate, fresh from a threesome and equally smitten with their handsome neighbor\u2026 Then their actress-friend Elise turns up, dressed as a Marilyn-lookalike, literally smashing into the cute guy\u2019s car. However, things spiral out of control when the sexy neighbor invites them all over for a drink\u2026 and the bloodbath begins. Actress-turned-director No\u00e9mie Merlant\u2018s absurdist second feature mixes broad comedy, Asian gore and sexual politics in this gleeful takedown of toxic masculinity and gender-based violence.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0FS5GCRTV\/ref=pv_ag_gcf?cmp=rt_where_to_watch&amp;tag=rottetomao-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE BALCONETTES | 2025 &#8211; 103&#8242;\u00a0 &#8211; Horror, Comedy, Thriller.
