Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Huppert is sublimely silly, deliciously funny and single-handedly worth the price of admission. Rated: 3/5 Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Miriam Balanescu Empire Magazine François Ozon’s fanfic for the Jazz Age steers clear of pastiche and is utterly charming — throwing a few curveballs to keep you on your toes. Rated: 4/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Emily Maskell Little White Lies Ozon has a whale of a time poking holes in the corrupt justice system. Rated: 3/4 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman The prolific and mercurial François Ozon returns with another of his periodic descents into frothy period pastiche. Rated: 3/5 Oct 26, 2024 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Another exceptional film from Ozon. Rated: 4/5 Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Emma Simmonds The List The film’s appealing theatricality and appetite for farce nods to its stage origins, as well as the Hollywood comedies of that era, and it zips along with gusto, featuring chic costumes alongside the requisite twists and turns. Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Donald Nice color. Good performers. But a total waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review 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 01/01/24 Full Review Ghederick Eshmont 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 01/01/24 Full Review Michael 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Bryan S Great fun French farce! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/27/23 Full Review Daniel B Just trifling fluffy as breezy entertainment, an unimportant film, but well made. I have a feeling it loses something in the French translation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
