The Closet

Comedy
François Pignon, a very bland sort of man who works as an accountant in a rubber factory, is about to be fired. His new neighbour comes up with an idea to prevent such a thing to happen: he spreads the rumor that he's gay so that the factory management might be afraid they'll be sued for sexual discrimination. Of course, nothing happens as it should, but the changes in François Pignon's life -and other people's too- is drastic !

United States | The Washington Post | "Wins you over with its devastating simplicity." | POS |
United States | Chicago Sun-Times | "The screenplay relies too much on the first level of its premise and doesn't push into unexpected places. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | NEU |
United States | Boston Globe | "Perhaps not the most uproarious of Veber's farces, but entertaining and emotionally satisfying all the same." | POS |
United States | The New York Observer | "Floats with the buoyancy of a delicious French soufflé" | POS |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "Any gay person watching this film must surely ask whether Veber is really in touch with how things are in France." | NEU |
