Whatever your imagination does with the title is surely more entertaining than what this all-style, no-substance thriller has to offer.

The Lady in the Car With Glasses and a Gun is like a movie-shaped sudoku puzzle: an irresistible time-suck that's more fun to puzzle over than it is to solve.

While we ultimately don't care about the car, the glasses, or the gun, we can't get enough of the lady.

3/5

Director Joann Sfar (Gainsbourg) is far more interested in the hazy, overheated world through which his eponymous protagonist wanders. And when the film lets her do that, it's fun to drift along in her wake.

The Lady of 2015 is a stylish, occasionally inventive, and fun remake.

Please watch the original from 1970 by Anatole Litvak. This remake is very disappointing, and anyway, you'll wonder why they wanted to make a remake at all.

A playful hallucinatory construct. Is there free will? The frumpy, although attractive, secretary finds herself in a nightmare, when all she wants to do is to swim with the fishes. She has to kiss a devious thief and also kill her boss, but in the end her wish is granted. An original story brought to life with very good cinematography. On Tubi.

A lot of violence; a few pretty shots; no ideas and no meaning...

This cool dream-like thriller should have stuck to it's absurd plot line because the last 20 minute explanation of what happened before fails.

You know, if the lady with glasses wasn't holding that shotgun, it would be easier for her to steer the car that she's in.
