Top CriticThe crime matters less than the characters, although the filmmakers supply enough complications, close calls and double-crosses to satisfy us.

The fascinating, evolving relationship between Carla and Paul is the real subject of Read My Lips. The labyrinthine crime-drama landscape they navigate is the icing on the cake.
12/27/02
An unorthodox little film noir organized crime story that includes one of the strangest love stories you will ever see.

[Audiard] combines a flair for enlivening genre conventions with a careful approach to his characters.

It's stylishly directed with verve...
09/26/02
The noirish twists are not always believable; at least once I laughed out loud incredulously.
09/20/02
See it now, before the inevitable Hollywood remake flattens out all its odd, intriguing wrinkles.
