Movie Reviews

Compuserve - 9/10 by Harvey S. KartenIn his seventh collaboration with Catherine Deneuve, director André Techiné focuses with amusing results on both romance and politics--on a young woman who loves too much, and a casino owner's enemies determined to wrest control from her of a casino.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by Doris ToumarkineIt's the presence of the unflagging, always compelling [Catherine] Deneuve [...] that is the added value here.
Newsday - 9/10 by John AndersonTawdry tale gets complex, layered treatment from French master Andre Techine.
The Patriot Ledger - 9/10 by Al AlexanderIt lowers the stakes on murder and betrayal to the point where they're about as riveting as a parking ticket.
One Guy's Opinion - 8/10 by Frank SwietekTells a lurid, fact-based story in a curiously understated, reticent way...intriguing but emotionally rather dessicated.
HeraldNet (Everett, WA) - 8/10 by Robert HortonEngrossing material, with a very watchable trio.
Detroit News - 8/10 by Tom Long'In the Name of My Daughter" is one of those French films that leave you going "huh?"
Seattle Times - 8/10 by Moira MacDonaldIt's a pleasure to take in the lush settings, to hear the delicately ominous score (by Benjamin Biolay) and to watch these actors circling each other.
Film Experience - 7/10 by Glenn DunksHaenel and Deneuve, puffing on cigarettes at every turn, aren't given enough material to make their characters identifiable as human beings worth empathizing over; their bourgeois, petty squabbles over money increasingly difficult to care about.
New Yorker - 7/10 by Richard BrodyThe true story of a late-seventies murder case, which is well-known in France, is a ready-made classic melodrama.
