Movie Reviews

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Paula NechakThe cast is full of talented French actors -- Virginie Ledoyen, Francois Cluzet, Mathieu Amalric, Jeanne Balibar -- who play people with flaws and fears and who eventually reach a tender understanding.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumWhat we don’t know about these characters–and what we don’t see in certain scenes–is often as interesting and as important as what we know and see, and Assayas’s sense of how relationships evolve between people over time is conveyed with a rich and vivid novelistic density.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by G. Allen JohnsonA demanding, rewarding (if overlong) and - yes - a personally felt experience.
Variety - 8/10 by Derek ElleyA kaleidoscopic but engrossing study of the shifting sands of friendship among a group of Parisians, "Late August, Early September" reps a major advance by writer-director Olivier Assayas in warmth and maturity of observation.
New York Magazine/Vulture - 8/10 by Peter RainerThe cast, including Virginie Ledoyen, François Cluzet, and Mathieu Amalric, is as well coordinated as a fine chamber-music ensemble; their entrances and vanishings and re-entries play like recurring motifs.
The Independent - 8/10 by Mike HigginsThe film doesn't leave the audience with a moral. It just leaves a sense of having been in the stimulating company of passionate people -- all of them in the arts or on the fringes of that world, all of them struggling to make something intense and amazing out of their lives.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Scott TobiasLate August, Early September is a resolutely minor work, a quiet departure from the brash showiness of Irma Vep, but it's crafted with the sure hand of a major director.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrIf Assayas doesn't always transport his film's events beyond the all too commonplace, his understatement can also yield moments of quiet simplicity.
Salon.com - 8/10 by Charles TaylorAssayas' triumph here is in making sense of confusion and emotional drift -- bringing his characters gently forward into life, and making the film feel full and rounded while still resisting easy resolution.
Spirituality and Practice - 7/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatReveals the terrible fragility of male friendship and the ways in which it often disappoints those who invest it with burdens it cannot bear.
