Summary

RATING: Not Rated

Starring Michel Aumont, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Dinara Drukarova, Samuel Dupuy, Irène Jacob, Laurent Lucas, Denis Menochet, and Frankie Wallach

Jean-Pierre (Lucas) is a troubled hit man starting to realize he has too much conscience to kill. Having recently rekindled his relationship with his childhood soul mate Michelle (Jacob), he sees their love as a way out. But when he learns that she has stolen a mysterious briefcase, Jean-Pierre is forced to walk a fine line between protecting the woman he loves and falling back into the world of crime he just left -- a task that soon unravels in ways that he can neither imagine nor control. (Truly Indie)

Village Voice Melissa Levine

Enamored of all things French and noir, American director Ra'up McGee has written a love letter to both.

Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir

Autumn is actually pretty damn good. It's a defiantly odd work, a movie-movie set more in the crime-film Paris of Jean-Pierre Melville or Jacques Becker or early Godard than in the real 21st century city.

Washington Post Stephen Hunter

The film is visually mannered and full of posing and longueurs. But it is stylish, very French (despite its American origins) and diverting if well short of brilliant.

Chicago Reader J.R. Jones

McGee has taken Hitchcock's idea of the MacGuffin to such an extreme that the plot becomes a set of nesting dolls with nothing at the center, but the players conjure up a smoky mood of existential sadness.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

Although reasonably compelling to watch and featuring fine performances from its charismatic and attractive lead performers, it ultimately displays little reason for being other than to serve as a transatlantic cinematic calling card.

Variety Joe Leydon

Francophile film buffs and obsessive deconstructionists might be amused, but less indulgent auds will find derivative pic artificial and mannered.

Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips

With its quick fades and creamy lighting, Autumn is all about looking good. McGee may well have strong films in him, but this one feels pretentious and gassy.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Crust

The twists and reversals that pile up, stirred by greed, friendship and betrayal, fail to register any meaning, simply accumulating -- so that ultimately Autumn is as dry and lifeless as the leaves that fall to the ground in its opening images.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

The film looks great, but there's nothing under the high-gloss veneer.

LA Weekly Ella Taylor

Elegantly stylized but emotionally strained.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

It's in French with French actors, but its film noir sensibilities have a filtered Hollywood vibe about them. In other words, it's pretty much a mess.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray

The one bit of artsy business that McGee pulls off well is the recurring image of snapshots, serving as a kind of map to who these people were and who they're becoming.

New York Post Lou Lumenick

Autumn wants to do for Jean-Pierre Melville what "Reservoir Dogs" did for Hong Kong cinema, but this new film is a joyless exercise in film appreciation.

The New York Times Nathan Lee

As they scheme to secure a mysterious silver briefcase, secrets are revealed, agendas come to light and not a single plausible line of dialogue is uttered.

San Francisco Chronicle Ruthe Stein

For all the precision shooting, Autumn is a colossal misfire, a tedious film noir wannabe. It doesn't even qualify as film gris.
