Reviews for A Few Days in September
1 - 19 (sorted by critic A-Z)
Top CriticHere 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.
09/14/07
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.
09/06/07
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.
09/14/07
No film starring Juliette Binoche can be totally negligible, but this comes close.
09/14/07
Buckling under the weight of its own hubris, the potentially scandalous premise ends up feeling like a Dan Brown knock-off.
09/14/07
An intriguing set-up spoiled by a clever-clever script, Christophe Beaucarne’s migraine-inducing cinematography and performances which are decent, but never gel.
09/14/07
Duff addition to the ever-expanding canon of 9/11 movies.
09/14/07
Slick, fitfully effervescent, pre-9/11 thriller aims to inject some cross-cultural poetry into the world of political espionage.
09/14/07
A Few Days in September is that rarest and most peculiar of creatures: a French arthouse action thriller.
09/14/07
Sacrificing entertainment at the altar of arty lyricism, Amigorena's snail-paced drama is dull, misjudged and a criminal waste of a cracking premise.
09/14/07
A lot of dumb things have been said about 9/11. This might be the dumbest yet.
09/08/07
Generally interesting but only sporadically compelling...
12/19/06
An inventive idea is let down by a weak script.
09/11/07
A spy thriller with a difference or two
02/14/08
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.
09/15/06
Feeling more like a few months in the cinema, this ploddy, pretentious Euro-pudding is made just about bearable thanks to its cast.
