... Mediocre and digestible comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 18, 2022

...the charming Duris gives a vivid performance in a story that is the male version of French auteur Julie Delpy's Two Days in New York.

| Jun 8, 2020

Coasting mostly on the affable charm of its stars and likeable characters, this final chapter manages to walk a fine line between hopeful and melancholy as we at last leave them all behind.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019

Entertaining, uplifting and visually arresting, Klapisch's Chinese Puzzle is one of the year's best French offerings.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 26, 2019

... it didn't take long for me to get sucked right back into Xavier, Wendy, Isabelle, and Martine's life, and I more than enjoyed the conclusion of his story.

| Mar 2, 2019

As sweetly concocted as an airy souffle, Cedric Klapisch's charming Chinese Puzzle continues the adventures of characters we met a dozen years ago in Barcelona.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 29, 2017

Smart, insightful and full of lively, authentic New York City atmosphere that could never be faked on a sound stage in Atlanta, Chinese Puzzle is the real deal.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 6, 2016

Those familiar with the first two films will find the most rewards in this bittersweet concluding chapter.

| Jul 25, 2014

French filmmaker Cedric Klapisch keeps the tone light and the serious themes just under the surface as he revisits the lively characters from The Spanish Apartment (2002) and Russian Dolls (2005).

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 24, 2014

Sweet.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 22, 2014

The farcical episodes have a fizzy zest, and Klapisch delivers so many stylish and quirky touches throughout that it's easy to overlook his film's flaws.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 22, 2014

Klapisch has a tremendous cast and an enjoyably freewheeling approach to his subject matter.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 20, 2014

It's Duris' engaging breakneck performance, bolstered by energetic turns from Kelly Reilly, Cecile de France and Audrey Tatou, that keeps the motor running.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 20, 2014

A fitting end to a trio of fine movies, progressing accordingly and triumphantly.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 20, 2014

A warm, lovable movie that celebrates cultural pluralism and people's ability to mature.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 20, 2014

There are some thoughtful moments along the way but the film still has the slick, glib feel of a perky television sitcom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2014

For all its goofiness and silliness, the story bops amiably and fluently along. It's a sort of boxset drama where the best stuff is in the last episode.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 19, 2014

Viewers coming to this film without having seen the others would have no problem following the action; whether they'd care about it is another question.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 19, 2014

Entire sub-plots and characters could have been sacrificed and still this good-natured, perma-cranked-up-to-11 rom-com would have been too noisy for some.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 19, 2014

Ambling, but amiable enough.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 16, 2014
