Reviews for Va Savoir
Top CriticIts warm humor and love for its characters ultimately wins us over to its side.
11/18/01
... a playful romantic comedy about six characters in search of love ...
12/21/01
Rivette's examination of the nature of relationships is witty and light-hearted.
01/08/02
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.
10/12/01
Top CriticRivette ... co-wrote Who Knows? with witty repartee and verbal encounters staged with effervescent amusement.
10/04/01
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
It lacks the scariness, the mystery, and even much of the curiosity of Rivette's better work.
11/12/07
Top CriticA demonstration of grace and wit.
11/15/01
Top CriticIt's a supremely smart film.
11/15/01
Top CriticIf true love is a state in which each sees the other as he or she would most want to be seen (and maybe it isn't), then Va savoir (Who Knows) is the definition of true love.
05/19/04
A delightful romantic comedy, in which couples are made and remade, and destinies crossed and recrossed.
09/28/01
One of the year's best pictures.
10/12/01
Rarified, pretentious, ultra-sophisticated French romantic roundelay.
08/30/01
Rivette's wry and compassionate Va Savoir is the year's most graceful comedy.
11/01/01
Top CriticClocking in at 2 1/2 hours, Va Savoir is in essence a madcap bedroom farce, the kind where doors open and slam with wild precision.
11/09/01
A leisurely tangle of love triangles, gorgeous actors, beautiful art direction and flawless cinematography.
09/28/01
A film more for connoisseurs of cinematic art than mere mortal filmgoers, but if you can endure it, it’s worth the time spent.
10/16/01
An intelligent, sophisticated hymn to modern-day relationships.
03/29/02
In its artistic quality, subtle complexity, and thematic concerns Rivette's film recalls Renoir's Rules of the Game and particularly Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night, which also deals with a theatrical troupe and the notion of life versus art
