A decent-enough treat for fans of this particular Gallic genre.

Oregonian
Rating: 3/4 --
Director Eric Lartigau, adapting American author Douglas Kennedy's novel, keeps the tension building as Paul tries to leave behind his past and warily assume another person's life.
Salt Lake Tribune
Rating: 2.5/4 --
It moves, with supple muscularity, toward a twisty and satisfying conclusion.

Washington Post
Rating: 6/10 --
...the ambiguity of the French title, L'homme qui voulait vivre sa vie ("The man who wanted to live his life"), is a much better fit for the film that the rather bland English title...
PopMatters
Duris makes the character frail, edgy and impulsive....A playfully dark exploration of the logical conclusions of certain fantasies with which we taunt and tempt ourselves.
Sight and Sound
Makes full use of Duris' essential "lost" whimsicality.

East Bay Express
4 stars out of 5 -- Built around a multi-layered performance from Duris, it's a film unafraid to pose more questions than it answers.
