100Olivier Assayas latest effort could be mistaken for a hipper-than-thou thriller. But it isnt--its in fact a difficult, challenging, and troubling art film. [October 2003, p. 19]

80It's a consistently exciting piece of moviemaking, but it's not a pleasant experience; it's one of the few recent movies that have the power to leave you genuinely shaken up.
