Critic Reviews

Steven Rea

A romantic comedy for anyone in love with the movies, and anyone, for that matter, who's in love. Read full review

A.O. Scott

A terrifically deft picture about the thick line that separates movie glamour from the real world, and the thin line between common sense and paranoia. Read full review

Carla Meyer

Gainsbourg's character seems too sweet to be true until she tangles with her onscreen director over nudity. The fire Gainsbourg brings to the scene suggests she's had similar battles. Read full review

Roger Ebert

It circles the possibility of mental and spiritual infidelity like a cat wondering if a mouse might still be alive. Watching it, I felt it would be fascinating to see a movie that was really, truthfully, fearlessly about this subject. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

A blackhearted little film. What's being marketed as a frothy French confection about jealousy (specifically the jealousy of a regular guy married to a famous movie star) also just so happens to be a portrait of a marriage going down the toilet. Read full review

Ray Conlogue

None of this quite gets off the ground, and I found myself wanting to bid farewell to Yvan and Charlotte quite a while before the final credits rolled. Not every wannabe Woody Allen is Woody Allen. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Attal, who resembles a young Robert De Niro, seems as addled as a director as his character is as a husband, throwing all manner of distractions onto the screen in order to divert the audience. Read full review
