Autumn is a nearly perfect satire of the pretentious French thriller. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't know it.
Top CriticA colossal misfire, a tedious film noir wannabe.
Hmm, has somebody seen Breathless? I guess so.
Pic overall has the look, depth and emotional impact of a glossy magazine fashion spread.
McGee may well have strong films in him, but this one feels pretentious and gassy.
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.
What emerges is imperfect but shows a bravura talent with an engagingly elliptical storytelling style.
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.
I'm not sure this is a parody or not.
The film looks great, but there's nothing under the high-gloss veneer.
An unsavory pastiche of the familiar and the overdone, flavored with faux-pungent, existential, interminable dialogue.
The cast is uniformly effective, from veteran Aumont down to relative newcomer Droukarova, who gives a muted but compelling performance.
Elegantly stylized but emotionally strained.
The seamy underbelly of Paris seen through romantic American eyes keeps the noir alive.
