Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle The essential problem is that artifice for artifice's sake loses its fascination when divorced from human emotion or grand stakes. Rated: 2/4 Aug 9, 2017 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader Onscreen these devices seem stagey and awkward, and the pacing is slow and clunky. Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times Despite a few playful flourishes, filmmaker Luc Bondy's experiment in artifice never takes flight. Jul 20, 2017 Full Review Elissa Suh StageBuddy.com This rendition loses something perhaps in substance and style; the beauty and weight of Marivaux's language obviously to the non French-speaker, but also any meta-reflexive commentary that might be gleaned from the film's setting... Mar 12, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Playful, bizarre, and unabashedly theatrical, choice casting and an inescapable aura of finality imbues this curious last testament from Luc Bondy with an underlying streak of melancholy. Rated: 4/5 Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Cate Marquis We Are Movie Geeks It is just a little bit of theater-and-film crossover fun for Francophiles. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Então, como eu havia dito, 2016 foi o ano de Huppert, Binoche e Stewart. Em 2017, Kristen Stewart parece estar à frente, já que este filme saído da montagem teatral da peça de Marivaux não tem alma. E olha que é difícil errar com Huppert e Garrel. Senhor. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
