Feeling more like a few months in the cinema, this ploddy, pretentious Euro-pudding is made just about bearable thanks to its cast.

Sacrificing entertainment at the altar of arty lyricism, Amigorena's snail-paced drama is dull, misjudged and a criminal waste of a cracking premise.

Walks the fine line between thriller and thriller satire, sometimes taking small detours left and right of the line before rejoining the ranks. It is a tough balancing act but Amigorena mostly pulls it off.

A lot of dumb things have been said about 9/11. This might be the dumbest yet.

No film starring Juliette Binoche can be totally negligible, but this comes close.

An intriguing set-up spoiled by a clever-clever script, Christophe Beaucarne’s migraine-inducing cinematography and performances which are decent, but never gel.

Duff addition to the ever-expanding canon of 9/11 movies.

Buckling under the weight of its own hubris, the potentially scandalous premise ends up feeling like a Dan Brown knock-off.

A Few Days in September is that rarest and most peculiar of creatures: a French arthouse action thriller.

Generally interesting but only sporadically compelling...

Slick, fitfully effervescent, pre-9/11 thriller aims to inject some cross-cultural poetry into the world of political espionage.

An inventive idea is let down by a weak script.

Here is a film as rum and tangential as the theories themselves, a pleasingly off-kilter noir that casts Juliette Binoche as a cigarillo-smoking spymistress who lights out for Venice in the first days of September 2001.

Savvy thriller for conspiracy buffs with star performances by Binoche and Turturro.

A slow-burning thriller with an intriguing mystery at its centre, this film's tone is reminiscent of The Third Man, although updated to make some extremely provocative suggestions.

Shadows on the Wall

Amigorena has an eye for off-kilter camerawork and attractively shoots Paris and Venice as Binoche and the two twenty-somethings flee Turturro, but its existentialist musings and breezy road movie charm are no replacement for espionage movie brains.
