You’re sure to find something to like in this artsy teen metaphysical thriller/ morality play. Whether Director Perelman transcends genre or gets himself muddled up in too many is for you to decide. But see it for the acting alone, especially the superb performances by the three female leads.
Plaudits for some risky social satire and a few pokes at humorless PC armor, but none for its lazy reliance on safe targets and vulgarity rather than wit. What’s more, beneath its obvious goring of bias and prejudice, the film reveals its own.
If you delight in the casual cruelties of a dysfunctional relationship or cannot wait to peep under the veneer of Parisian sophistication or the chic Manhattan version thereof, then you will probably relish this modern comedy of manners that manages to be an equal opportunity offender in skewering both French and American mores.
Most of us are willing to cut a little slack for a smart and stylish time travel thriller, but this script taxes the patience of even the most devoted Sandra Bullock fans. There is little the charismatic star can do with material that is so pockmarked with illogic, bombastic melodrama, and unintentional humor.
It will dazzle you – the sequins swaying on stage, the darker rhythms behind the curtain, and the sheer spectacle that reaches its white-gloved hand to you like a siren beckoning. It is a ride through the turbulent sixties, a breathless trip from giddy innocence and heady ambition to the high price paid for packaged success.
