Patrice Leconte has taken a story about male friendship, in all its posturing and potential vulnerability, and turned it into a light, smart, crowd-pleasing comedy.

Full Review | Jan 4, 2008

Leconte has crafted an at once thoughtful, engaging, lighthearted, and melancholic entertainment about loneliness and friendship

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 18, 2007

This is a movie that sneaks up on you and grabs your heart before you know it. I would want to watch it with my best friend.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 24, 2007

French though it may be, My Best Friend effectively addresses what is a universal human condition.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 16, 2007

It isn't always believable, but it is entertaining and funny, with an edge to it.

| Original Score: B | Nov 7, 2007

A wonderful, rare film that portrays one of the most under-represented but universal human neuroses: the desire for friendship or platonic love.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 12, 2007

Few films so directly address the question of friendship, the nature of friendship, and, most of all, the illusion that our acquaintances and our friends are the same thing.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 10, 2007

You might well find it very silly, but it grew on me, and it's certainly based on an interesting premise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2007

Daniel Auteuil is reliable as usual.

| Original Score: B | Sep 22, 2007

This is yet another demonstration of the staggering versatility of Auteuil, surely the finest French actor of his generation.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 22, 2007

If sex, gangsters, and killing Nazis are three of the most enlivening topics in the movies, then let us count friendship as one of the most tiresome, right up there with grooming horses and sharing for sheer thrills.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 22, 2007

Auteuil and Boon's appealing performances keep the film engaging throughout, but it's easy to pine for a dark, challenging film with this premise, pitched more toward a harrowing emotional reckoning than this film's ambiguous but inevitable happy ending.

| Sep 22, 2007

It's better when it's threatening, but Leconte knows his audience.

Full Review | Sep 22, 2007

One looks to Leconte for some of the finest, most sophisticated and compassionate filmmaking coming out of France, not for a situation comedy.

Full Review | Sep 22, 2007

My Best Friend's heart is in the right place, but its grasp on its characters isn't, well, the best.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2007

Patrice Leconte's latest is a little light and a little telegraphed, but still quite enjoyable.
