Nowadays, in Vienna, a French couple in their 40s seems to live a peaceful and happy life. Unfortunately, appearances are sometimes misleading: a schoolteacher and a mysterious young man complicate this outwardly perfect osmosis... I liked this sentimental drama with the thriller sauce, each character advances his pawns in a game of dupes to who loses wins. The two main roles (Karin Viard/ Benjamin Biolay) excellent in this kind of poker liar in love, I finally remained on my hunger with this outcome a little too smooth and frustrating in a film that holds overall well the road. Not bad, but really lacking in bite.

The problem with _Les Apparences_ / _Appearances_ is that it doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up. Does it want to be a thriller? A drama? A romance? It hangs out on the screen like a professional student still living with their parents, refusing to pick a career.

The actors performances rest as flat as the pages of book this film is based on, and only Laetitia Dosch turns in a worthwhile portrayal in this, the 4th French film based on extramarital affairs I've seen in 3 weeks.

At least the pros are that, because the film doesn't know what it wants to be, it's relativelyunpredictable.
