      Audience Member More than a story of spies who play normal people, it is a story of normal people who play spys. Not funny enough to be a comedy, not brilliant enough to attract, not intelligent enough to fascinate, and with doubtful political messages which you can believe or not in real life, the problem is you don't believe these characters even although (most of them) are played by good actors. The interesting note comes from the amusing character of Turturro, but that is only a spark in a movie that you can watch, but without being really captivated. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review walter m After receiving word from her former colleague Elliott, Irene Montano(Juliette Binoche) collects his daughter Orlando(Sara Forestier) to meet him in Paris. But Elliott never shows. Which is a good thing considering that William Pound(John Turturro) is gunning for him. Who does show up is Elliott's stepson David(Tom Riley, of 'Da Vinci's Demons') who along with Irene and Orlando head to Venice, after losing William. All of which leaves the fate of Irene's pet turtle undetermined. "A Few Days in September" is an offbeat movie about family, intrigue, guns, travel and poetry and maybe not in that order. Considering when the story is set, the movie's leisurely pace could be thought of as symptomatic of a pre 9/11 way of thinking where all the clues are there but not the impetus to act on them. What is not up for debate is this being a movie that is helped out with both Juliette Binoche and John Turturro being in it, especially with Turturro speaking French. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Gratuitous gore, incest, contrived profundities. What's to like? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member first 20min were nice, the rest of the movie was blablablaaa... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Odd movie. Not very thrillerish Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Had to watch this twice. Characters excel. Sara Forestier amazingly watchable and Tom Riley very likeable. Juliette Binoche brought class and humour and kept the story together. John Torturro superb as psychotic killer. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Slick, fitfully effervescent, pre-9/11 thriller aims to inject some cross-cultural poetry into the world of political espionage. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2007 Full Review David Gritten Daily Telegraph (UK) No film starring Juliette Binoche can be totally negligible, but this comes close. Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Here is a film as rum and tangential as the theories themselves, a pleasingly off-kilter noir that casts Juliette Binoche as a cigarillo-smoking spymistress who lights out for Venice in the first days of September 2001. Rated: 3/5 Sep 14, 2007 Full Review Urban Cinefile Critics Urban Cinefile A spy thriller with a difference or two Feb 14, 2008 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) It creates no suspense and little conviction. Sep 22, 2007 Full Review Daily Mirror (UK) Feeling more like a few months in the cinema, this ploddy, pretentious Euro-pudding is made just about bearable thanks to its cast.
