They liked it
Puppet (3.5/5): ”An interesting film about what it has to say about cowardice, jealousy that can destroy friendships, and randomness that no amount of voluntary action can ever do in the end. Impeccable interpretation, with special mention to Ivan Atal.“
Lucy Fayard (4.5/5):A charming and exciting thriller that keeps you in suspense throughout the film. 5 star casting! I’m not disappointed I went to see this movie, I highly recommend it!“
Régine CC (4/5):This Chabrol film highlights the importance of fortuitous circumstances that obstruct the lines of criminal investigation. A true demonstration of the accidental aspect of justice by a+b and an appeal against the death penalty. A film that deserves better reviews in my opinion.“

octopus_fr2002 (3.5/5): “It is quite a successful and charming film. How chance turns a good man into a murderer. Greek tragedy is a merciless mechanism, and the story keeps us hooked. A slight drop in pace two-thirds of the way through the film. It’s a shame !“
Paul GATT (3/5): “It is difficult to believe in this marital drama despite the excellent performance of the actors. Too bad, the plot seemed strong.”
Simon Bernard (1/5):The director gives us a vaguely similar unfinished cocktail to the thriller. Nothing feels right between the voice acting, the dramatic background music, the screenplay that casually justifies all its inconsistencies…“
A Roll of the Dice is currently in theaters.
