REVIEWS
“Auteuil and Foster have mad exes-turned-lovers chemistry as, together, they pursue the murderer while producing a delicious and cerebral mystery that doesn’t need big explosions to have a big emotional impact.”
“The intrigue is far-fetched and surprising — this is one movie you can’t write in your head — and delivered with increasing winks and charm.”
“There’s a deliciously overripe, almost campy quality to much of A Private Life that’s expertly balanced by the intense focus of Foster’s performance.”
