Pour Elle is a smart, startling thriller; a perfect date movie for couples who like to smoke afterwards.

This French thriller hurtles along with hardly a pause.

There's nothing exceptional about any of this but it is well made, decently acted (Kruger is clearly a star in the making) and rachets up the tension with some skill.

Engaging in places and interesting in its influences.

Cavayé's film may not be the cleverest or most credible but it packs an effective punch.

Heavy-handed teases do very little for the overcooked melodrama.

Audience Reviews for Pour elle (Anything for Her)

Jul 20, 2014While driving around Paris with a bloodied body in his back seat, Julien(Vincent Lindon), a university professor, thinks back on happier times like him and his beautiful wife Lisa(Diane Kruger) going at it like rabbits, even with the infant son they have. That all changes when Lisa is convicted of killing her boss. Fearing that she cannot survive prison for long, Julien gets desperate thoughts in what he can do to help. "Pour Elle" is a Hollywood-style thriller about the crazy things we do for love that of course Hollywood screwed up when it turned it into "The Next Three Days" by taking the former's elegant shorthand and turning it into the latter's drawn out longhand. Plus, I'll take the more vulnerable and expressive Vincent Lindon over Russell Crowe. Granted, "Pour Elle" still is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, as it suffers from a daft plot and a mismatched couple. But it moves so quickly that it does not really allow the audience to ask many questions along the way.Walter M Super Reviewer

Jul 18, 2012Gripping, fast-paced and moving drama/thriller where an "ordinary" man is faced with extraordinary and seemingly insurmountable difficulties. There's an edge of realism here that keeps everything small-scale even amidst the high concept. Excellent performances from Vincent Lindon and Diane Kruger and kinetic direction from Fred Cavayé. Remade as the American blockbuster "The Next Three Days" starring Russell Crowe (therefore instantly missing the point of the 'everyman' factor).Daniel P Super Reviewer

Feb 08, 2011I can't help wondering why Hollywood chose to remake this average thriller. Maybe running out of concepts? However, others might find this movie outstanding since I felt it was an ordinary one (in the near past, Winter's Bone and The Town were such movies which were great according to most people, but I found 'em mediocre. I lack the sense of appreciating certain qualities and my ignorance doesn't let me enjoy 'em as much as others can). Check it out; maybe you're blessed with the talent of discovering greatness in what I find to be quite an ordinary work.familiar s Super Reviewer
