    i wanted to love this film, and i definitely liked it quite a bit, but ultimately it fell a bit flat. often good movies are made good through the details, and the details are where this film stummbled. the film was well shot and the story was great but it was ill-explained. i ... read morelove thinking in movies but i had to think about things in this film that i shouldnt have had to think about because the pieces werent put together well enough. good flick however.

    I'm not sure I really understood this movie. Whatever.

    Interesting, if a little too sappy and romantic.Sort of a French Grosse Pointe Blank, I guess? I don't think I liked the ending that much, but I think it was well made enough to forgive that. This is a better movie than Amelie.

Autumn is a nearly perfect satire of the pretentious French thriller. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't know it.

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle

A colossal misfire, a tedious film noir wannabe. Full Review

Hmm, has somebody seen Breathless? I guess so. Full Review

Pic overall has the look, depth and emotional impact of a glossy magazine fashion spread. Full Review

McGee may well have strong films in him, but this one feels pretentious and gassy. Full Review

The cross-cultural backstory behind Autumn, a new French-language feature written, produced and directed by Ra'up McGee, is ultimately more interesting than what's seen onscreen.

If you're in that select demographic of moviegoers who lose sleep over whether a synthesis of Kyzysztof Kieslowski and Quentin Tarantino could ever be forged, you can relax at last. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

Unfortunately, the story of Ra'up McGee's pigheaded perseverance is a better story than the one he filmed. Full Review

Slow, pretentious and proudly inscrutable.

Jack Mathews, New York Daily News

Though Lucas and Jacob are lovely actors, you are not likely to care whose toes end up wearing tags. Full Review
