In this whodunit mystery movie, Renée is the murder victim. She plays Elizabeth, an enigmatic prostitute found sliced into two pieces and dumped in a park. Renée appears via flashbacks as the other characters answer questions to detectives about their relationship with Elizabeth. Despite being the central figure in this movie, Renée’s part is tiny, almost like a cameo role. Though the movie received horrible reviews, most praised Renee’s performance.

Entertainment Weekly did write rave about her performance writing.

“piquant small performance that lets vulnerability peer out from behind a sexy-glossy facade.”

Variety wrote:

“Zellweger’s fleeting presence provides a welcome glimpse of human warmth.”
