      Audience Member Seria cômico, se não fosse trágico... Não, não. à cômico, tambà (C)m. :) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Since it's Signoret, you would expect Raquin to become a requin, but instead the femme fatale is a femme tragique. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very rarely do I watch a movie and at the end am "wowed". Well this is one movie, for whatever reason, wowed me on the initial viewing. Not knowing much about the movie beforehand, I thought it would be some sappy love story. How wrong I was. Perfect acting throughout...an engrossing story (although it does drag a bit towards the end, but sets you up perfectly for the end). Really three stories within the movie. I could not find anything I would change about this movie. Now I've got to read the book as from my understanding it was changed when making the movie..... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Underplayed, sometimes to the point of tedium. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member testing 123 testing 123 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Il manque la petite étincelle qui aurait pu en faire un très grand film, mais Thérèse Raquin n'en demeure pas moins le meilleur Carné d'après-guerre! La mise en scène est solide, la photo soignée, Raf Vallone animal... mais Signoret est éteinte! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
