Two roommates and their friend – Ruby (Souheila Yacoub), Nicole (Sanda Codreanu) and Elise (Noemie Merlant) – suffer the heat by looking out over their balcony at the hunky guy across the way. He invites them over to party but things go terribly wrong for “The Balconettes.” We meet the three roommates one by one with Nicole being the first. She is rather shy and reticent and the exact opposite of Ruby, a free spirit who loves to love. Finally, the third in the triumvirate, Elise, is an actress, unhappily married and separated, and screwing up her job. So, they are ready for a diversion from the heat and handsome Magnani (Lucas Bravo) fills the bill as they flirt shamelessly, especially Ruby, and get an invite to pay him a visit. They party hard for a while when Elise gets pass out drunk. Nicole takes her home and they leave their friend for a night of sexual bliss. Later, though, Ruby shows up at home all bloody and beaten and unable to talk. Then, they learn the truth when they go back to the late hunk’s apartment. It ain’t pretty. This is where “The Balconettes” switches gears from a “girls just want to have fun” buddy flick to one of mayhem, cover-up and guilt – and bloody body disposal. This makes for an oddly structured film with three sort of likable roommates who get into a situation way over their heads. It is a combo of dark comedy and off-screen mayhem and bloodshed that had me a little confused. The three best buddies are dramatically different from each other, making me wonder if they would even be friends. Nicole’s reticence, Ruby’s over-the-top free-spirit and Elise’s confusion of life make for strange bedfellows and I am not sure I believe it. Of the three, Ruby is the one most full of life and, when she arrives home all bloodied, you want just desserts received. The way they go about it makes for the second half.
