Alix and Doug were not supposed to meet, but they did. Alix was on a train bound for Paris where she was going to audition for a film, having just left Calais where she had performed in an Ibsen play. Doug, a literature professor, had left England for Paris, where he was to attend the funeral of a dear friend. They were not supposed to meet and yet they did. They did because Alix, whose relationship with her boyfriend was at a crossroads, fancied this handsome serious-looking gentleman on the Paris-bound train. They did because Doug, although not in the mood for love, quickly fell for her. They were not supposed to meet but their brief encounter would prove to be overwhelming.
Leave your thoughts about Just a Sigh.
| Minneapolis Star TribuneMarci Schmitt"Just a Sigh" charms, with its scenes of street musicians, philosophical debates and headstrong romance, as much as it poses dilemmas of fate and desire. |
| The Film StageJohn FinkA complex experience, the pleasure of Just a Sigh exists mostly in its visuals, tonal shifts and performances. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasUltimately, Just a Sigh is a mediocre, "day-in-the-life" film that would have made an incredible short, as one gets the sense that this is far too stretched out to qualify as a solid feature-length film. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIf it weren't for Devos, I'd happily translate the title of this one to "Just a Slog," as getting through it was an endurance test from the forty minute mark onward. |
| New Zealand HeraldPeter CalderIt adds up to a classy French melodrama that takes the strangers-on-a-train trope and produces an engaging love story. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesDevos manages to keep it afloat in the second half as the actress peels away for her own adventure and writer-director Jérôme Bonnell develops a subplot that will force the lovers to part for good. |
| Film Journal InternationalEthan AlterWatching Devos slip in and out of Alix's various "characters" is one of the major pleasures of an otherwise modestly enjoyable film. |
| OregonianJamie S. RichThe scenes with Devos and Byrne strive for some emotional relevance, but "Just a Sigh" keeps derailing on all the trivial things Alix gets up to. |
| User ReviewTom DUn fil ténu tient le film, et pourtant la tension est là. Les 2 acteurs principaux sont superbes, tout en finesse. De l'humour aussi. |
| User ReviewSerge LThe dance between the two protagonist is rather amusing. Well done in a realistic way. |
