Summary 5x2 is a haunting and realistic evocation of the evanescence of love, and how adult relationships evolve over time. Returning to a more intimate scale following his international smash "Swimming Pool," Ozon's chamber drama is an anatomy of a failed marriage told in reverse chronology. (ThinkFilm)

Directed By: François Ozon

Written By: Emmanuèle Bernheim, François Ozon

Ozon's greatest special effect is holding the camera in tight on the faces of Bruni-Tedeschi (one of the most expressive faces in French cinema) and Freiss.

When you piece it all together, it becomes mildly fascinating.

You can make a good movie about a bad marriage, as countless directors, the latest being Ozon, have discovered.
By Stephen Hunter FULL REVIEW

It flirts intriguingly with the unknowable, what it shows us of the knowable isn't terribly interesting.
By Ty Burr FULL REVIEW

France's François Ozon's 5 x 2, which resembles Ingmar Bergman's "Scenes from a Marriage" told in reverse, could be played for laughs, or suspense -- who killed this marriage? -- or with the rueful irony of Stephen Sondheim's backward musical "Merrily We Roll Along."

The film is bleak, not particularly compelling, and the characters are frustrating, the enemies of their own happiness.
By Mick LaSalle FULL REVIEW

For anyone who believes in the gorgeously messy truth of French social drama, it's a grave disappointment.
