It finds its filmmaker completely lost between impulses to pay homage, play it safe, or offer something--anything--new.

The excruciating experience of "Marguerite & Julien" need only be endured by viewers with an obsessive interest in the least constructive aesthetic currents in contemporary French cinema.

If it's too misbegotten to fall head over heels with, it's also too sensitively wrought to dismiss outright.

An overheated but haunting, strangely involving tale inspired by the doomed romance between real-life aristocratic French siblings circa 1600.

Marguerite & Julien's romance is a non-item, but Donzelli sprinkles it with faux naiveté, which has the aftertaste of an artificial sweetener. Who would ever want to see this movie?
