Courtney Howard Fresh Fiction 11/05/2017
3.5/5
Taut, twisty and riveting, the perfectly sun-tanned noir ironically steals the right parts from its inspirations all while making it fresh. Go to Full Review
Javier Porta Fouz La Nación (Argentina) 11/01/2016

02/23/2020 Short history nevertheless it has good scenes See more 06/29/2017 Pierre Niney gives a pretty good performance, there are a lot of suspenseful scenes and the photography has some marvelous moments. Still, the plot and themes are highly derivative, the film never becomes remotely believable (to a big extent due to directorial deficiency, as a sure hand could at least partly save such a meagre script), most characters are caricatures and the protagonist has zero likability. "Un Homme Ideal" is watchable and at times pleasing but often blatantly careless as well. See more 01/07/2017 This is an extreme story of a man trying to be someone else and the price he pays for that. Everything is exemplary; direction, editing, screenplay (for the most part), use of music. One of the best hitchcockian thrillers of the recent years and perhaps the most suspenseful of those which were screened in 2016. 8/10 See more 01/02/2017 Un Homme Ideal [Gozlan, 2016] a film structured so well, it's both suspenseful and unpredictable. 8/10 See more 06/18/2016 Very interesting suspense film. The acting of the main characther is very impressive. Although you may predict what could happen in some scenes, there are still surprises when you think that evertything is over. I would highly recommend it. You won´t be disappointed. See more 04/08/2016 Suspenseful thriller though felt there could have been more of a twist at the end. See more Read all reviews
