Chinese Puzzle - 2014 - 5/10
AKA - Casse-tête Chinois

French fare, filmed and set mostly in New York, that assumes viewer will be familiar with previous installments, L’auberge Espagñole and Russian Dolls.
Wendy leaves Xavier, takes the kids, moves to New York.
Xavier follows, chills with Isabelle, reconnects with Martine.
Small tempests amounting to squat. Third film definitely running low on steam. Characters getting long in the tooth and their compelling personal dramas middle-aged tedious.
Hardcore arthouse types will queue in line for this, though.
