Talking Myself Into a Corner - My Night at Maud's review by griggs
It’s people chatting in rooms, yet it stays gripping — like listening to someone talk themselves into a corner. Rohmer turns flirting into a moral stress test, and I was hooked on the pauses, half-smiles, and careful edits of the truth. The wintry vibe helps too: cosy, slightly prickly. By the end, My Night at Maud’s feels underbaked and a bit on the nose, but it has real charm and gentle mischief on the way there.
