Joan is no longer in love with Victor, but it pains her to feel she is being dishonest with him. Alice, her best friend, reassures her: She herself doesn’t feel passionate about her partner Eric and yet their relationship is smooth sailing. She has no idea he is having an affair with Rebecca, their mutual friend. When Joan finally decides to leave Victor and he disappears, the lives of the three friends and their relationships are turned upside down.

Guardian

It’s a minor miracle that the cast manages to charm throughout and keep the audience’s sympathies -- instead of repelling us with their manifest dishonesty and delusions.

Rated: 3/5

Little White Lies

Emmanuel Mouret and Carmen Leroi’s fun and fascinating screenplay is far and away the strong point of this project.

The Times (UK)

Fans of a certain type of cheesy, commercial, Éric Rohmer-inspired French cinema will know immediately that nothing especially convincing, dramatic or even psychologically credible is about to happen over the subsequent 110 minutes.

Rated: 2/5

Emmanuel Mouret's THREE FRIENDS (Trois Amies) is a sharply written, breezy, and engaging chamber piece set in Lyon.

Rated: 3/4

Cinencuentro

Perhaps better than any other filmmaker today, Mouret films the complexities of romantic relationships in a genuine, intimate, and vibrant way. [Full review in Spanish]
