Would I Lie to You? (1997)

Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating

Jobless loner Eddie Vuibert gets a lucky break when a rich Jewish entrepreneur mistakes him for a Jew and gives him a sweet job in the Parisian fashion district.

The Quartile Take

A French comedy with a charming fish-out-of-water premise as a Sephardic-pretending outsider navigates the Jewish business community in Paris. The cultural specificity and warm ensemble give it a distinctive flavor above generic comedy fare, but the plot follows predictable misunderstanding-and-redemption beats. Acting is solid and naturalistic without being exceptional. Cinematography is functional and unremarkable for the genre. The ending resolves things tidily but without much surprise or resonance.
