Leslie Felperin Hollywood Reporter Perfectly calibrated to inspire post-screening debates over whether character X or Y is guilty, When Fall Is Coming dispenses clues and red herrings masterfully but always holds just a little something back. Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Nobody is exactly who they appear to be in When Fall is Coming, but Ozon’s nimble, perceptive little film takes that as a given: When winter and mortality are beckoning, the past only counts for so much. Sep 27, 2024 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Sure, Ozon spikes the recipe with a few more acrid flavours and textures, but in the main this is one that slides down a little too easily, with an overwhelming sweetness that subsumes the other notes. Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Carlos F. Heredero Caimán Cuadernos de Cine François Ozon delivers this time a perverse and happily transgressive moral apology that vindicates the meaning and necessity of second chances. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Olivia Popp Cineuropa Despite his often ruefully bleak and irresolvable subject matter, Ozon tints his world with an immense amount of cosy, environmental warmth lensed by Jérome Alméras [...] Oct 21, 2024 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com ... A sinuous and contradictory film, which goes from black comedy to thriller to family drama, and in whose drift we will discover secrets, conspiracies, and tragedies.

Jean L. L A lot of questions, no clear answers. Anyway , if you watch and listen closefully, à lot is given. Real life exploding softly in a quiet village of Burgundy, baguette and béret shaped. Anyway, nobody jokes with wine, love or hate of humanity. The choice contribues to the compréhension. Almost asiatic, on some side. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
