"Olivier Assayas directs Kristen Stewart, having fun with her public persona, in a hall-of-mirrors movie that hinges on a mysterious disappearance. This is a fantastic film to rewatch, since it allows for so many interpretations. Recently I decided Kristen’s character never existed at all, except as a manifestation of Juliette Binoche’s younger self. But who knows?"
"I saw this movie in Cincinnati right before I began shooting a new film, which was a terrible thing – because I couldn't get it out of my head and found myself spending too much time thinking about it and not on the work I had at hand. It's a real mystery of a movie, and I don't think I'll ever quite figure it out. Nor would I want to. If my new movie suffers, I'll hold Olivier Assayas partially accountable for making something so wonderful."
