May be the finest thriller/romance hybrid of the new century.

RTToronto StarOct 4, 2002

Audiard has created one of those rare, commercially released movies that trades in actual, honest-to-god surprise.

RTGlobe and MailOct 4, 2002

Having changed into action gear, the picture never looks back, leaving two people who seemed wonderfully unique to do things that are cinematically trite.

RTThe ContendingOct 21, 2025

Audiard loves to genre blend and that was obvious early on. Here he whips together elements of noir, romantic comedy and gritty thriller and dishes out a most delicious cinematic soufflé. Devos and Cassel make a fab team.
