(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1   B- "More like a voyeuristic fantasy that overstayed its welcome than a real romance."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz "A seamless, sensual film; its dialogue is sprinkled with double entendre and wit."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Donald J. Levit 2.5/4 "Leconte’s clever engagement of noir idiom befits this story of mistaken identity and has a spectacular way of heightening the tension between the titular unfamiliars. "   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez C+ "Though it keeps raising the stakes, it never actually allows anything to happen. It is intent on remaining a talky drama."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "Captivating...this sharp, seductive fable of psychological liberation is a welcome addition to the impressive body of work by one of the smartest of contemporary filmmakers."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "Intimate Strangers is an enchanting French film about listening as the catalyst that brings deep changes into the lives of two very lost souls."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "pleasant, compelling, worth a look"   Perihelion Journal   Jay Antani 2.5/4 "A shrewdly observed analysis of the female psyche."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 2.75/5 "With both Anna and William’s motivation for maintaining their charade a mystery and a red herring or two thrown into the plot, the benign ending may disappoint."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner A- "Sandrine Bonnaire, who last worked with Leconte on "Hire" is wonderfully mysterious, but it is Luchini, the '"Hire" apparent,' who steals the show"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford B+ "[Leconte is] among the best today at turning out films in the classic French mode."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 2.5/4 "Compared to Man on the Train, Intimate Strangers is a lightweight"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 4/5 "The film delights in playing with the audience, dropping little clues here, red herrings there, while unpeeling each person slowly before our eyes."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "It doesn't quite ring true, but it is absorbing, nonetheless."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B+ "I dare Hollywood to try to remake this as an American film."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 2/4 "It feels as though Leconte is as sick as we are that he's doing another Leconte movie."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 81% Fresh Page   1
