It's slight, contrived and conceited. But, oh, for more films as flawed as this one.

Reviews for Va Savoir
A leisurely tangle of love triangles, gorgeous actors, beautiful art direction and flawless cinematography.
09/28/01
Jacques Rivette's playful romance takes time to find its feet, yet its leisurely charm and generous compassion towards its characters proves a winning combination.
11/12/07
An intelligent, sophisticated hymn to modern-day relationships.
03/29/02
Va Savoir is, as far as I can recall, however, in a class by itself in Mr. Rivette’s career with its lighthearted charm, its accessible nuance and its remarkably in-tune ensemble acting.

Top CriticIt’s possible to walk away with either a warm glow or thinking, so what? To which I’d reply by quoting the translation of the title: who knows?
10/30/02
A dense, droll and frequently delightful account of that zone where art and life (and love) converge.

Top CriticIt possesses the lightness that comes only when a filmmaker has come close to pulling off the insanely complicated.
09/28/01
It's gratifying to see actual adults in a movie, and it's fun to watch director Jacques Rivette keep several subplots aloft, like plates spinning on top of poles.
11/26/01
A delightful romantic comedy, in which couples are made and remade, and destinies crossed and recrossed.

As a movie-watching experience, it's like getting to breathe pure oxygen after living in a smoggy multiplex.
09/27/01
This is lovely, momentous piffle.
10/08/01
It will amuse if you patiently merge into its minuet of blithe contrivances.

A fun film.

We are all our own works of art and artists of a sort, Rivette seems to say ... Comparing and contrasting the two, he finds them both wanting and glorious.
11/21/01
Va Savoir is a relatively labored offering from Nouvelle Vague auteur Jacques Rivette.
07/17/01
Rivette ... co-wrote Who Knows? with witty repartee and verbal encounters staged with effervescent amusement.
10/04/01
As Va Savoir moves along and develops new layers as the characters collide and intertwine, its pleasures increase with its complexity.
