Movie Reviews of Happenstance

Movie Review: Slow, but still worthwhile
Summary: 4 Stars

After seeing Amelie, I had very high expectations of Happenstance. This movie does not move as fast as Amelie, but it is still fun to watch. The movie nominally centers on Irene, a salesgirl, who has a bad day. In between the viewer is presented with numerous sub-stories that affect each other and Irene. While at the beginning, it doesn't always seem to make sense, by the end of the movie, you will be trying to figure out just what is going to occur because one character "happened" to do one thing instead of another. Overall, a very good movie.

Movie Review: Are we products of circumstances?
Summary: 4 Stars

This is the question at the center of this film. It is a light, but very thoughtful little film that looks at lives of 6 major characters and how their "inconsequential" actions alter their, and others', fates at every turn. Audrey Tautou is great, but so are many others. You'll have to see it multiple times to pick up on some of the nuances, but it is definitely worth it. I am buying this one.

Movie Review: Good movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I rented this film as a project for my french class. I had perviously watched Amelie and chose this film based on my like of Audrey Tautou as an actress. I thought this movie was good. It dragged a little bit towards the middle/end, but when it was over and you could see how each situation and character effected the overall outcome, the ending is classic French!

Movie Review: Deep Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

More of Audrey Tautou, however you won't see her much in this weird film. However this film's look at the theory of chaos is done in such a simple, beautiful way that it's amazing.
