What emerges is imperfect but shows a bravura talent with an engagingly elliptical storytelling style. Full Review |

 1.5/5 |
Autumn is a nearly perfect satire of the pretentious French thriller. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't know it.

A colossal misfire, a tedious film noir wannabe. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

Hmm, has somebody seen Breathless? I guess so. Full Review |

Pic overall has the look, depth and emotional impact of a glossy magazine fashion spread. Full Review |

2/4 |
McGee may well have strong films in him, but this one feels pretentious and gassy. Full Review |
||
|
|
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. Full Review |

I'm not sure this is a parody or not. Full Review |

The film looks great, but there's nothing under the high-gloss veneer. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

Unfortunately, the story of Ra'up McGee's pigheaded perseverance is a better story than the one he filmed. Full Review |

1.5/4 |
Slow, pretentious and proudly inscrutable. Full Review |

Though Lucas and Jacob are lovely actors, you are not likely to care whose toes end up wearing tags. Full Review |

2/5 |
Autumn is as dry and lifeless as the leaves that fall to the ground in its opening images. Full Review |
||
|
1/5 |
An unsavory pastiche of the familiar and the overdone, flavored with faux-pungent, existential, interminable dialogue. Full Review |
||
|
|
The cast is uniformly effective, from veteran Aumont down to relative newcomer Droukarova, who gives a muted but compelling performance. Full Review |

|
Elegantly stylized but emotionally strained. Full Review |

7/10 |
The seamy underbelly of Paris seen through romantic American eyes keeps the noir alive. Full Review |
