What are critics saying?
Filmmaker Gérald Hustache-Mathieu has fun recasting Monroevian moments and setting up parallels between the fromage-hawking hottie and the late silver-screen sex symbol - bring on the Miller, DiMaggio and JFK avatars.
Slant Magazine by Jesse Cataldo
While Nobody Else But You aspires to a kind of French Fargo, it forgets the primary qualities that made that film work.
Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
Writer-director Gérald Hustache-Mathieu sustains a fresh voice influenced by the Coen brothers and the infernal snow of "Fargo."
Not even the presence of a goth-chick hotel clerk could turn Nobody Else But You into "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." The movie may teeter on the edge of Switzerland, but its playful sensibility is entirely French.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
Nobody Else But You takes a novel concept and a willing leading lady and squanders both through drab, lifeless storytelling.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
If Nobody Else but You is smart and entertaining, it is a little too clever for its own good.
A playful French meta-mystery that's occasionally too proud of its own cleverness.
