Critic Reviews

• Desson Thomson, Washington Post

  Each movie casts light on the others. And after watching all three, a profound blending of the stories percolates in your head.

• Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

  Belvaux beautifully controls all three styles and stories -- even though he's least successful with the comedy Couple.

• Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

  Charmingly offbeat in the vein of early Woody Allen.

• Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

  Boosted by Morel's subtly hilarious, hangdog performance, the film offers a cunning blend of door-slamming farce and whimsical marital love story.

• Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

  This comedy built around marital misunderstanding is the weak link.

• Ty Burr, Boston Globe

  More remarkable as an experiment than a film.

• Tim Cogshell, Boxoffice Magazine

  It serves mostly as a linking device but stands on its own as a charming romp through classic French farce.

• Annlee Ellingson, FilmStew.com

  The least successful of the three, perhaps simply due to context. Without a disclaimer of sorts labeling it "A ROMANTIC FARCE," it's too easy to be confused by its tone.

• Kent Turner, Film-Forward.com

  ...the fast-paced and unfolding plot will sustain interest.

• Robin Clifford, Reeling Reviews

  This drawing room style comedy, with all of its twists, turns and mistaken beliefs is laugh out load funny at times

• , E! Online

  The movie threatens to devolve into chaos, but director Belvaux manages to keep his plates spinning and his own splintered version of romantic farce chugging along.

• Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly

  Collapses into a flabby heap of tepid French farce.

• Laura Clifford, Reeling Reviews

  ...grounded in the terrific comedic performance of François Morel, who turns Alain's paranoias into an ever-escalating parade of misinterpreted missteps.
