(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 87% Fresh Page   1   "Snappy timing, focused writing and pitch-perfect acting."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 3/5 "a tasty cocktail of romance and jealousy"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Barsanti 1.5/4 "...hopelessly stale..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "One of those Chabrol productions perched awkwardly between thriller and comedy."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "While not one of the director's best works, it's a classy, sophisticated entertainment with a typically rich subtext."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "An exploration by French director Claude Chabrol of the illusions of love in the magical worlds of publishing, the media and old money."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B+ "While not quite a thriller, it's not not a thriller, either."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart 3/5 "All of the characters are walking contradictions, each pulling and pushing away the viewer. Part of the film's tension derives from what the audience clearly sees and what Gabrielle doesn't."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner B- "The film intrigues throughout, although suffers from an opaque performance from Sagnier and a capper of such literal symbolism it blunts what came before it."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/4 "Veteran filmmaker Claude Chabrol's icy tale of love, lust and self-delusion is an elegant exercise in corrosive psychological suspense."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh B- "Still, watching a Claude Chabrol film is watching a master at work and this is an example of such."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 7/10 "Bordering on the surreal, Chabrol's latest film investigates conflicting desires in a woman in love. The old meets the new and the quandary remains unresolved."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson B+ "Under the cool tone is a devastating portrait of an unapologetically sexual woman treated more as an object than a person."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 7/10 "A fine character study with some exceptional performances...but there's no getting around the fact that it's a saggy affair in places."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 87% Fresh Page   1
