The cast is uniformly effective, from veteran Aumont down to relative newcomer Droukarova, who gives a muted but compelling performance.

Reviews for Automne
Finally, a version of Reservoir Dogs for The New Yorker set.
05/26/06
Elegantly stylized but emotionally strained.
06/08/06
I'm not sure this is a parody or not.
06/09/06
What emerges is imperfect but shows a bravura talent with an engagingly elliptical storytelling style.
02/07/07
The cross-cultural backstory behind Autumn, a new French-language feature written, produced and directed by Ra'up McGee, is ultimately more interesting than what's seen onscreen.

If you're in that select demographic of moviegoers who lose sleep over whether a synthesis of Kyzysztof Kieslowski and Quentin Tarantino could ever be forged, you can relax at last.

Top CriticThough Lucas and Jacob are lovely actors, you are not likely to care whose toes end up wearing tags.

Top CriticPic overall has the look, depth and emotional impact of a glossy magazine fashion spread.
06/22/06
Top CriticAutumn is as dry and lifeless as the leaves that fall to the ground in its opening images.
06/09/06
Slow, pretentious and proudly inscrutable.
06/09/06
Top CriticThe film looks great, but there's nothing under the high-gloss veneer.
06/09/06
[The] film begins with too much pretension but matures into a slinky, sexy piece of mood music.
06/06/06
McGee may well have strong films in him, but this one feels pretentious and gassy.
06/22/06
Top CriticAutumn is a nearly perfect satire of the pretentious French thriller. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't know it.
06/24/06
It's hard enough to care about why these people are striking fashion-model poses and shooting at each other without having to think about their poor, bruised inner children.
06/22/06
The seamy underbelly of Paris seen through romantic American eyes keeps the noir alive.
06/07/06
A colossal misfire, a tedious film noir wannabe.
06/23/06
Top CriticAn unsavory pastiche of the familiar and the overdone, flavored with faux-pungent, existential, interminable dialogue.
06/09/06
Hmm, has somebody seen Breathless? I guess so.
