French Exit

"For those on its wavelength... the matter-of-fact presentation of odd behaviour gets funnier and funnier..."

"Hampered by clockwork quirkiness and disaffected dialogue."

"French Exit is so genuine in its mix of arch and earnest, idiosyncracy and earthiness that it creates a space all for itself."

"As the Paris flat grows crowded with the arrival of wacky supporting characters, French Exit loses its way."

"An arch and laboured comedy..."

"Michelle Pfeiffer shines in tonally odd trans-Atlantic tale."

"The various elements add up to an amuse-bouche rather than a full banquet."

"A head-scratching failure for all involved."

"In French Exit’s best passages, sadness and curt, resonant comedy exist side by side unceremoniously."

"The film does not waste the brilliance of its two leading performances."

"Would have been lost in its own lineage if not for the strength of its cast."

"There's more to admire than to love in Azazel Jacobs' arch drawing-room comedy..."

"It’s nicely cut with the schadenfreude of “Schitt’s Creek.”"

"Ranks among her most captivatingly Pfeiffer-ian."
