Roman de Gare

Shuffling storylines and shifting time frames, Lelouch empties out his bag of tricks, hoping viewers will be so entranced by his misdirections...

Dominique Pinon is a fascinating actor to watch.

...has made a diverting but cool suspense puzzler...

...Claude LeLouch's thriller is a small delight, a slick trifle (a roman de gare is an airplane novel) crammed with clever twists and razor-sharp performances.

This is the kind of inconsequential movie you have to allow to play with itself while you watch.
