3.5/5
The air of Gallic nonchalance ensures you have a lot of fun watching Pinon and Ardant match wits. It's Dana, however, who anchors the story. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 11/14/2008

2.5/5
Red herrings abound and audience frustration sets in. It's a pity because the film looks good and the Gilbert Becaud songs on the soundtrack are easy on the ear. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/21/2020
2.5/4.0
It's awesome to see the director having continued to crank out thought-provoking, challenging and effective cinema even if the film doesn't quite fire on all cylinders. Go to Full Review Felicia Feaster Charleston City Paper 01/28/2020
Lelouch's is a pleasingly serpentine story that will keep viewers guessing. Go to Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express 08/15/2011

04/06/2019 Crimes de Autor (2007) #MovieReview 3,0 â­?ï¸? Os personagens de uma escritora famosa vão aparecendo na estória e vão se desenrolando em trama curiosa. Nada à (C) o que parece inicialmente. Interessante! See more 06/02/2018 I admit this film is one of my favorites. The farm house, the scenery, the flat affect of the farm family: fabulous! Audrey Dana and her rifle-shooting melt-down at her ex-fiance is gold! The trout fishing scene with Dominique Pinon and the 15-year-old Shayla LeLouche is très, très charmant. And the love story of the understated, genius novelist played by Pinon and the lovely Audrey Dana as the self-doubting Hugette is sweet. See more 01/07/2016 This is a very good movie, although it does become a bit "long" and somewhat confusing near the end. See more 06/07/2013 Twisty, meta and suspenseful. A mystery lover's dream come true. See more 06/07/2013 a tale spun by a pair of complex lenses which focused on the flaws and motives of each character... See more 06/04/2013 Entertaining mystery about crossed fates and ghost writing. See more Read all reviews
