'My Best Friend': Who Needs Strangers?new
In the end, the film is too gimmicky -- it climaxes with Bruno on the French version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire -- to ever be a great movie, but it offers plenty of small pleasures.

Not a Post-WWII Coming of Age Storynew
The plot to The Fury of the Entire World sounds more clumsily convoluted than it's told on-screen, as Pieters' plays this evenly paced mystery close to his chest, cagily dealing out his plot points.
