Reviews for Va Savoir
One of the year's best pictures.
10/12/01
The romantic roundelay plot ... is gossamer thin, but the continual delights on offer make the resulting fabric quite lovely, indeed.
10/09/01
Rich and eminently companionable.
11/02/01
Its warm humor and love for its characters ultimately wins us over to its side.
11/18/01
A City of Lights charmer with a semi-serious edge and several superb performances.

Don't miss it.

Makes fine use of Paris as its backdrop, and the performances are all of the highest order.
10/13/01
The sort of lighter-than-air cinematic souffle that only the French seem capable of making nowadays.
11/25/01
In a time when most 90-minute comedies unfold at the pace of a Galapagos tortoise, this 21/2-hour divertissement is souffle-light and airily playful.

Top CriticRivette's examination of the nature of relationships is witty and light-hearted.
01/08/02
The film is a work of extreme sensitivity, a gently absurdist wisdom, and a lighthearted grace.
10/12/01
It lacks the sparkle that an outstanding romantic comedy should have, but is an entertaining little farce, still.
10/09/01
Yet another long, meandering, talky French film may not be your first choice for escapist entertainment. But there's some terrific stuff in this one.
12/10/01
An enchanting entertainment that offers a number of laughs while dispensing an equal number of romantic truths.
01/03/02
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
A demonstration of grace and wit.

Top CriticThis is lovely, momentous piffle.
10/08/01
It will amuse if you patiently merge into its minuet of blithe contrivances.
10/19/01
Once it starts to pick up, you find yourself enjoying a smart, refreshingly unpredictable romantic comedy tinged with Gallic melancholy.
