At 33, Arman has decided to change his life. He starts by running. It’s a good start. Amélie carries on with her life. She runs as well. The first encounter is a shock. The second is a stab in the heart.
A fair amount of traumatic stuff happens in 2 Autumns, 3 Winters... But writer/director Sébastien Betbeder's French seriocomic romance still feels light (or emotionally distant, depending), thanks to the film's fusillade of stylistic tics.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
2 Autumns often lets its cute and eccentric stylings get in the way of the story itself, which, once you strip away all the accouterments, feels rather underdeveloped.
This is a film that moves too erratically to ever gain momentum, seemingly by design.
RogerEbert.com by Peter Sobczynski
While the cast may not include any names that are familiar in these parts, they are all effortlessly charming and engaging throughout.
Maintaining a bemused, sometimes comic distance, Betbeder traces how happenstance crystallizes into biography as his characters traverse the titular seasons.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
The wistful, overarching theme is the passing of time in the lives of young adults, aware of growing older, who seek to ground themselves in relationships and work, but relationships most of all. The movie reminds you with a series of gentle nudges that whether you want it to or not, the future happens.
