Nice color. Good performers. But a total waste of time.

Charles Brooklyn

Funny and kind of silly French period film (takes place in 1935). Modesty implausible plot but if you suspend disbelief it works. Excellent ensemble cast with two leads.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A bit silly in a pedantic way…but fun with a compelling concept on feminine fame & true crime celebrity.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Ozon is a child. The actresses are strong but the adaptation of the play and the theatrical devices are unserious in a distracting way. I would not recommend this film.

Overacted, shallow, trite, like a soufle, easily forgotten. Only for francophiles or those yearning for 1940's style filmmaking.

A delicious bit of French froth from master director François Ozon.

Slips down as fizzily and forgettably as a bottle of off-brand sparkling wine.

“The Crime is Mine” is the epitome of a comfort film, decked out in old-Hollywood nostalgia and unfolding at an auctioneer’s clip.
