	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Through it all, Mr. Corneau makes witty use of the contrasting faces and temperaments of the two main actresses"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Hammy acting, Japanese dinner-jazz and noir cliches all conspire to scupper the late Alain Corneau's tale of violence and obsession (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The two lead performances make it work (...) The screenplay has been written by Corneau and Nathalie Carter with meticulous attention to detail (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Bernard Besserglik The Hollywood Reporter	"The 'love' component is perfunctorily done and the 'crime' pay-off is unconvincing (...) However, there are compensatory pleasures"	NEU
United States	Jordan Mintzer Variety	"If the helmer’s direction is never exactly inspiring, it’s rock-solid crisp, capturing the proceedings in controlled two-shots that allow Scott Thomas and Sagnier to tear up everything around them"	POS
