It’s the smartest and best suspense movie you’re likely to see for a while.
Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle
The movie is more entertaining than it is logical; its narrative leaps are sometimes ahead of our ability to believe them. But as the compellingly enigmatic Pierre, Pinon keeps us rapt.
Desson Thomson
Washington Post
The twists and convolutions of the film’s beginning and end enable a middle that is dizzying domestic comedy.

Synopsis
In the still of the night, three lives are about to cross… a woman abandoned, a stranger awaiting his chance, and a best-selling author who imagines the thriller of the year. Deceptively layered and intriguingly misleading, this highly anticipated new film from Oscar-winning director Claude Lelouch (A MAN AND A WOMAN) stars Dominique Pinon and Fanny Ardant as an unlikely pair caught up in a game with high stakes — and deadly consequences.
