Leave your thoughts about Nightcap.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonCredit Huppert as much as Chabrol for the film's success. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezClaude Chabrol's camera has a way of gently swaying back and forth as it cradles its characters, veiling tension beneath otherwise tender movements. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannWe can rejoice that he carries on, breathes his profession as his native air, makes pictures of varying quality but persistently makes them. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickHuppert's show to steal and she makes a meal of it, channeling Kathy Baker's creepy turn as the repressed mother on Boston Public as much as 8 Women's Augustine. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakThis bloodless, nuanced little thriller carries small weight save for Huppert's enigmatic, thrifty performance. |
| San Francisco ChronicleEdward GuthmannMerci Pour le Chocolat has a restraint and rigor that we don't see in commercial American films, the kind that a director creates when he has no interest in sentimentality or in soliciting the audience's favor. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIsabelle Huppert has the best poker face since Buster Keaton. She faces the camera with detached regard, inviting us to imagine what she is thinking. |
| San Diego MetropolitanJean LowerisonThis is not Chabrol's best, but even his lesser works outshine the best some directors can offer. |
| Boxoffice MagazineKevin CourrierChabrol has taken promising material for a black comedy and turned it instead into a somber chamber drama. |
| Film Journal InternationalErica AbeelChabrol brilliantly conjures menace from the everyday and familiar. |
