  • Changing Times (2004)
    Review preview for Changing Times

    Here, the times are changing and so is the plot. In fact, you can expect a mood swing every five minutes, in a story so muddled even the strong cast, including Gerard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve, can't save it.

    Amber Wilkinson · 2 out of 5

  • Largo Winch - Deadly Revenge (2008)
    Review preview for Largo Winch - Deadly Revenge

    German star Tomer Sisley brings a winning level of charm to Largo, rising to the physicality of the role and injecting humour, but never letting it slip into pastiche.

    A man tries to stay alive and track down the killer of his adopted father.
  • Trilogy 1: On The Run (2002)
    Review preview for Trilogy 1: On The Run

    In the neo-realistic style of handheld cameras and grainy colour, the film is more honest than entertaining.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3.5 out of 5

  • Trilogy 2: An Amazing Couple (2002)
    Review preview for Trilogy 2: An Amazing Couple

    While the films of The Trilogy can certainly be enjoyed on their own, the viewer's overall appreciation of them - and scale of Belvaux's vision - grows exponentionally when they are viewed in their totality.

    Keith Hennessey Brown · 4 out of 5
    Second part of Belvaux's trilogy is played mostly for laughs as a man comes to believe his wife is caught up in conspiracy.
  • Trilogy 3: After Life (2002)
    Review preview for Trilogy 3: After Life

    Suffers from its dark obsessions.

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 3 out of 5
    Final part in the trilogy about a Grenoble detective and an escaped con.
  • Would I Lie To You Again? (2001)
    Review preview for Would I Lie To You Again?

    Unlike most sequels this can hold its own with the original, due in large part to the quality of the writing and strength of the interwoven plots.

    Paz Newis · 3 out of 5
    French romcom sequel, with added children.
