DanPApr 20, 200710An exquisite film to see! Resnais applies his roots in French experimental filmmaking to this dialogue-driven film. Every set piece and camera movement is visually stunning.

tomaszwJul 9, 20082Very stagey and psychologically incomprehensible. Where did these people come from, where do they live? They may speak French but the city ain't Paris but some outer space for seemingly human strays. A waste of time.

100Alain Resnais' 2006 adaptation of a British play by Alan Ayckbourn is a world apart from his earlier Ayckbourn adaptation, "Smoking/No Smoking"; that film tried to be as "English" as possible. But this time Resnais looks for precise French equivalents to British culture, and what emerges is one of his most personal works, intermittently recalling the melancholy "Muriel" and "Providence."

70This is a minor film from a master, which is disappointing, but nevertheless it has its charms, most notably in the acting by a cast of stage and screen veterans.

60Despite a perfect cast of Resnais regulars plus the master's own impeccable crafting, the characters fail to grip, and with approximately 50 short scenes, development comes in fits and starts.
