Priggish English mystery writer meets slutty, French teenage girl; it's
"The Odd Couple" for the 21st Century! Seriously, this is an engrossing
psychological study that deftly balances humor with intrigue. (Not to
mention that it's hot, hot, hot; the appearance on the screen of
Ludivine Sagnier, as the sexpot Julie, puts every man in the theater in
danger of having a Paul Reubens moment.) The only problem: the "twist"
at the end seems to have some inherent problems, leaving some unanswered
questions that hint at inconsistency. But that's a quibble, and one
minor enough not to require a downgrade of opinion (besides, maybe I
just missed something).
