Wendy Ide Screen International 06/21/2019
It's a polished package - the charms of rural Brittany are displayed particularly effectively - and the plot is satisfyingly paced. Go to Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 03/19/2019
Henri Pick is an easily digestible and highly cultivated whodunit that's perhaps the very definition of middlebrow, though that doesn't make it any less enjoyable. Go to Full Review Jane Freebury The Canberra Times (Australia) 08/23/2022
4/5
This is a whip-smart comedy that celebrates the old-fashioned virtues of the murder mystery, without the murder. Go to Full Review Hagan Osborne FILMINK (Australia) 03/25/2021

[An] entertaining literary adventure. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Adolfo C. Martinez La Nación (Argentina) 03/12/2020
With these entertaining elements, director Rémi Bezançon created a humorous thriller that balances with precision the suspense and twists of a script that never loses sight of the crazy hijinks of its two protagonists. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

04/13/2022 Such great tongue-in-cheek humor! Lots of plot twists and just a fun viewing with a glass of wine or two!! See more Lus R @RT44561773 11/01/2019 Funny and entertaining. The story stays within the limits of what you are willing to believe. It contains a humorous look at the vices and soft sins of those who work in the editorial world and those who orbit around it.

It has wits as well as human touch and carries one smoothly to the curious, though odd, ending. Watch out: Once the screen goes dark and shows the first titles, there is a very apt and consequential end to the story. 6 1/2 of 10 points. See more Read all reviews
