Review of Chéri (2009) by Jk F — 09 May 2009

While Michelle Pfeiffer was absolutely top-notch, the film as a whole had a rather unfortunate Dangerous Liaisons-lite feel to it. Nowhere near as sumptuous (despite excellent cinematography and scoring) rich or engaging, it was certainly worthwhile but not a patch on some of the creative team's other efforts.

The other performances were at best somewhat functional and while it drew to a close fairly well, I couldn't help but feel that very little of interest had actually passed.
