COUP DE CHANCE is about the important role chance and luck play in our lives. Fanny (Lou de Laâge) and Jean (Melvil Poupaud) look like the ideal married couple -- they're both professionally accomplished, they live in a gorgeous apartment in an exclusive neighborhood of Paris, and they seem to be in love just as much as they were when they first met. But when Fanny accidentally bumps into Alain (Niels Schneider), a former high school classmate, she's swept off her feet. They soon see each other again and get closer and closer....

Woody Allen's 50th film, Coup de Chance adds yet another creative rebound to the writer-director's oeuvre with a charming thriller that makes up in wit what it lacks in surprises.

Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) 05/10/2024
2.5/4
It is of a piece with Woody’s late-life output, a tale of coincidence, chance, and murder that charms at its best and at its worst evaporates upon contact with your eyeballs. Go to Full Review Natalia Winkelman Boston Globe 04/24/2024
2/4
The film’s closing is abrupt and maybe too tidy, but “Coup de Chance” is still a clever little thriller. It displays an admirable economy of storytelling, and its jazz-heavy soundtrack helps maintain a jaunty mood. Go to Full Review Peter Travers ABC News 04/19/2024
This French bonbon, Woody Allen’s best reviewed film in years, is no career landmark. But its blend of humor and homicide shows Allen, 88, still moving forward, creating the kind of film he made his name on, the kind that makes you laugh till it hurts. Go to Full Review Stephen Garrett Book & Film Globe 08/26/2025
3/5
Coup de Chance is a simplistic sigh of a film, overwrought and underthought but still professionally executed with a workmanlike if uninspired mise-en-scene and obligingly glowing cinematography thanks to stalwart golden-hour fetishist Vittorio Storaro.

3/4
In his latest film, Allen remains true to himself and to the themes that have preoccupied him: love, death, chance, and the precariousness of the existing order.[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Fernando E. Juan Lima Otroscines.com 11/19/2024
3/5
Its portrayal of a certain Parisian bourgeoisie, its sarcasm and a few observations on how some fortunes are made, hit the mark. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Marsha 05/26/2024 A good quintessential Woody Allen film though not as good as some of his best movies. Creative, atmospheric, and good music. See more Kathy L 05/05/2024 I wanted to like this movie but hardy any Paris scenery, all subtitles, no real development of feeling for the affair to get together, not enough character development so you cared for any of them either way. Unfortunately just passed the time lots of streaming shows are tons better then this trip to the movie theater. See more Joel 04/21/2024 Good plot, characters and dialog, but TERRIBLE translations killed it. French speakers I know laughed out loud and often at spots where we just scratched our heads. See more Adrianne W 04/21/2024 Delightful little movie. See more Joyce H 04/21/2024 Great cast ensemble, gorgeous cinematography, iconic Allen-esgue screenplay, love the jazz sound score. See more Lenore B 04/20/2024 Excellent. Best film Woody Allen has ever made. Wonderful mystery See more Read all reviews
