Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: You may be surprised to find yourself expecting the worst, hoping for the best, and enjoying yourself through all of it. Read more
Marta Barber, Miami Herald: It's a film that teases us with the realm of possibilities and a few really funny scenes. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Intimate Strangers is full of texture, from the murky, mottled surface of the hallway walls to the multitudes of swirling violins in Pascal Esteve's score. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A psychological drama that reminds us how sexy and charged with romance a simple conversation can be. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It's a movie by people who know there are few things more thrilling, or that seem more perilous, than meeting the romantic 'other' and having those first, careful conversations. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... brilliant ... Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Appealing and oddly suspenseful. Read more
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic: Those who know if they like the world of Leconte -- like those who know they like the world of Eric Rohmer or Jacques Rivette -- will look forward to seeing this film the way they might look forward to a fine meal prepared by a great chef. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: About the pleasures and dangers of human connection, and yet the movie itself barely musters the energy to connect. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Like other major French directors, Patrice Leconte has long ago mastered a Gallic specialty: the knack of making impeccably polished, graceful films with an unpretentious ease while allowing them to emerge seeming fresh and spontaneous. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: The most captivating thing about this taut, talkative film is how comic actor Fabrini plays against the commanding Bonnaire. Read more
Leah McLaren, Globe and Mail: Personally, I like French movies, but this one was a lot to take, even for me. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Leconte emerges once again as both a magical spell-weaver and an acute observer of human nature. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Another Leconte two-hander, and what resonance it has flows from the increasingly intense connection between these two square pegs. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A stylish love story, and a sophisticated entertainment. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: This has all the ingredients for a top-notch thriller except one -- a thrill. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Mr. Leconte has achieved nothing less than a feat of cinematic magic. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: In Patrice Leconte's sardonic psychological thriller, Sandra Bonnaire portrays a Gallic answer to one of Alfred Hitchcock's sleek blond women of mystery. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: What's at stake in Intimate Strangers is something quite small: The relationship between two lonely people. We care because Leconte helps us to understand their isolation, and we end up sharing their thirst for human contact. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: We find we cannot take anything for face value in this story. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: To borrow a phrase from Pauline Kael, Intimate Strangers suggests bits of Alfred Hitchcock and bits of Woody Allen. But the wrong bits. Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: This comic drama rises far above the goofball antics that its premise suggests. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Focusing on the expressive repression on his actors' faces, and keeping his camera so close to his subjects that you share their sense of wilful withdrawal from everything around them, Leconte keeps you riveted to the screen. Read more
Richard Schickel, TIME Magazine: An Adults Only movie in the best sense of the term. Read more
Lisa Nesselson, Variety: Shines thanks to splendid visual execution and sterling perfs from leads Sandrine Bonnaire and Fabrice Luchini. Read more
David Ng, Village Voice: A bland chamber drama for those who like their French cinema tame, talky, and just a little titillating. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: This is the kind of sophisticated and pleasurable movie you dream of seeing from France. Read more
Ann Hornaday, Washington Post: Leconte has made a film every bit as elegant, tactful and carefully composed as William himself. Read more
