Critics Consensus

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) 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. Rated: 2.5/4 May 10, 2024 Full Review Natalia Winkelman Boston Globe 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. Rated: 2/4 Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News 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. Apr 19, 2024 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín This mystery comedy owes a lot to Match Point, with Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, since the themes are the same: luck, destiny, and sin. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/4 Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews With Coup de Chance, Woody Allen proves he’s still capable of delivering a short and sweet charmer, even in a new country and language. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Taylor Baker Drink in the Movies While feeling old hat in many ways, Coup de Chance also feels like a fresh breath in. At its best, a Woody Allen film can charm us all into it. Sure, it’s a familiar scenario, but the score and editing punctuate each note with care. Rated: 80/100 Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Marsha A good quintessential Woody Allen film though not as good as some of his best movies. Creative, atmospheric, and good music. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Kathy L 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/05/24 Full Review Joel 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Adrianne W Delightful little movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Joyce H Great cast ensemble, gorgeous cinematography, iconic Allen-esgue screenplay, love the jazz sound score. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Lenore B Excellent. Best film Woody Allen has ever made. Wonderful mystery Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Read all reviews
