Although the acting and recombinant twists of the plot dance with spontaneity, Rivette's mise-en-scène is precision exemplified.

It lacks the scariness, the mystery, and even much of the curiosity of Rivette's better work.

| Nov 12, 2007

It's slight, contrived and conceited. But, oh, for more films as flawed as this one.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 23, 2002

A generally wonderful experience, though it should come with a warning posted outside the theatre: Not for the impatient.

Slow but savvy look at what we do for love.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Jan 10, 2002

Rivette's examination of the nature of relationships is witty and light-hearted.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2002

Don't miss it.

| Jan 6, 2002

Rivette manages the complex choreography of his characters with virtuoso comic timing.

| Jan 1, 2002

Its warm humor and love for its characters ultimately wins us over to its side.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 18, 2001

A dense, droll and frequently delightful account of that zone where art and life (and love) converge.

It's a supremely smart film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 15, 2001

A demonstration of grace and wit.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 15, 2001

Clocking in at 2 1/2 hours, Va Savoir is in essence a madcap bedroom farce, the kind where doors open and slam with wild precision.

| Nov 9, 2001

It will slowly envelop you, if you let it.

Full Review | Nov 2, 2001

Rivette's wry and compassionate Va Savoir is the year's most graceful comedy.

Full Review | Nov 1, 2001

It yields surprisingly unspectacular results.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 25, 2001

It gets frenetic, in the French way, but it never stops getting amusing. This is what happens when you let grown-ups make movies.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 25, 2001

A love letter to the theater -- and to love itself.

| Oct 19, 2001

As Va Savoir moves along and develops new layers as the characters collide and intertwine, its pleasures increase with its complexity.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 12, 2001

In a time when most 90-minute comedies unfold at the pace of a Galapagos tortoise, this 21/2-hour divertissement is souffle-light and airily playful.
