A melodrama of a love made impossible by conscious choices, Jacquot's latest exists in a familiar vein of vintage offerings, enhanced by a first rate cast in another of the director's exercises in repression and its consequences.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2020

Ultimately, there are too many confusing and laughable stylistic choices that make 3 Hearts anything but forgettable.

Naturally, the two would-be lovers never exchanged cellphone numbers or even properly introduced themselves. That would have killed the mood, which is admittedly intoxicating.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 22, 2016

Its scenery is attractive, its camera moves crisp, but the story itself remains lazily elliptical and contrived.

This film might be mistaken for a romance rather than a tragedy. But it leaves no doubt that-in French movies, at least-love is a life-or-death matter.

It leaves behind a nagging feeling, a suggestion there's more to the story than its story.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 9, 2015

A tasteful, mildly intriguing romantic drama from writer-director Benot Jacquot.

The premise is ripe for potent melodrama, but director Jacquot (who gets co-screenwriting credit) ultimately doesn't finesse the situation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2015

A French romantic drama directed as though it were a thriller.
