## Description

Audrey Tautou (star of Amélie ) shimmers like a born movie star in Happenstance . A woman on the morning train tells Tautou that the full moon will lead her to her soulmate; from there, Happenstance follows a marvelous interlocking series of events, in which little things (like whether or not a young museum guard eats a piece of chocolate) affect bigger ones (like whether or not an adulterous husband will tell his wife the truth). The numerous characters intersect with each other's lives, creating a web of coincidences that finally catches Tautou like a hapless fly. This could have been cloying and forced, but the writing and directing are so deft and subtle that the coincidences of Happenstance feel natural and compelling. A sweet and hopeful movie, with excellent performance all around, but Tautou's wide-open eyes leap out of her every scene, hypnotic and charming. --Bret Fetzer

Review: Brilliant witty offbeat film - I love the deeper philosophical levels of this film but perhaps its subtlety and or improbability put many people off. Tough on them, 'Happenstance' is a uniquely brilliant and profound film not accessible to everyone but well worth the effort. Wonderful acting and strangely compelling script.
Review: Wonderfull premise, but lacking execution - The idea of seemingly trivial actions being important is cute and a playfull idea, but not if the end result is boring. Other than some sharp dialogue the story is simply a "Rube Goldberg" vehicle to facilitate the preordained, and rather off putting, ending. Loose ends are left as such and the viewer is left wondering why any of the characters were introduced in the first place. If they didn't deserve to have their trials and tribulations resolved...then why were they there?!? Could have been, should have been, wasn't. Too bad.

### ⭐⭐ Wonderfull premise, but lacking execution
*by B***Y on May 19, 2002*

The idea of seemingly trivial actions being important is cute and a playfull idea, but not if the end result is boring. Other than some sharp dialogue the story is simply a "Rube Goldberg" vehicle to facilitate the preordained, and rather off putting, ending. Loose ends are left as such and the viewer is left wondering why any of the characters were introduced in the first place.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the American adaptation.
*by T***L on December 20, 2014*

A much more believable plot line than the later Aston Kutcher version, "The Butterfly Effect," which is in fact the French title of this movie. The intertwining of the lives of the characters, all strangers on their separate journeys through life, to reach the final conclusion is a work of art!
