No more than a shallow, style-mad entertainment, but it never flags or loses its balance, and, despite the theatricality of the staging and the acting, it's precisely the materiality of the cinema ... that makes us devour it with pleasure.

David Denby, New Yorker

If you like to read subtitles or comprehend French and the beautiful people who speak it, Bon Voyage is a perfectly delightful time-killer at the movies.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Not only does the plot have the required twists and the action keep us at the edge of our seats, but the story is populated with interesting and believable characters.

Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic

A sophisticated farce about an unlikely subject.

Steve Murray, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Fresh

A strong diva-whore portrayal by Isabelle Adjani and fine sense of time and place give Voyage just enough grounding to make it worth the trip.

Tom Long, Detroit News
