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 Fernando E. Juan Lima Otroscines.com 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] Rated: 3/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Alejandro Alemán El Universal The New Yorker easily puts together a thriller that, despite being predictable, maintains the interest of the viewer and generates genuine doubts about the fate of its protagonists. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 18, 2024 Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) Coup de Chance is not a masterpiece nor does it claim to be. Its light humor, oblique hint of mystery, and confident lightness of tone elevates Coup de Chance above some more cautionary films...[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Nov 18, 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
