Critic Reviews

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Despite its philosophical pretensions, the film is fairly lightweight, and its good-looking cast and sleek production values are more memorable than any of its heady themes. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Imagine that, instead of trying to solve his wife's murder, the amnesiac character in Christopher Nolan's "Memento" had gone on "50 First Dates." That comes close to describing French director Jean-Pierre Limosin's playfully sexy tale of memory lapse. Read full review

Deborah Young

A bizarre combo of upscale French erotica studded with good-humored kinky sex scenes. Read full review

Phil Hall

This sounds an awful lot like "Memento." But unlike that movie, the French-Swiss-Spanish-Italian co-production Novo opts for a Eurotrash sex comedy approach instead. Read full review

James Crawford

Limosin's elliptical narrative, meant to correlate with his protagonist's blank-slate mind, instead plays as desultory and just plain confused. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Sleek, attractive and ultimately vapid. Read full review
