COUP DE CHANCE is about the important role chance and luck play in our lives.

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....

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.

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.

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

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.

Newsday

Fifty films into his career – he still makes about one per year -- Allen has his art down to a science.

Q Network Film Desk

there are isolated moments that are quite great, but much of it is also depressingly pro forma, moving through the motions of a familiar set of characters and situations in the service of a philosophical point that is clever, but hardly invigorating

Rated: 2.5/4

Decider

Unlike the filmmaker’s more inspired efforts, the comedy in Coup de Chance is a nonstarter, the drama rote, the characters suffering from serious plausibility issues.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's not as good as some of Allen's other films, but it's not bad... Reminded me thematically of Match Point or Crimes and Misdemeanors.
