A 40-year-old divorced father of two cannot cope with his children moving to New York with their mother, so he moves there to be close to them.

Critics Consensus

Pleasantly easygoing and consistently funny, Chinese Puzzle offers a suitably endearing conclusion to Cédric Klapisch's Trilogy of Xavier.

Klapisch has a tremendous cast and an enjoyably freewheeling approach to his subject matter.

...the charming Duris gives a vivid performance in a story that is the male version of French auteur Julie Delpy's Two Days in New York.

2.5/5

Coasting mostly on the affable charm of its stars and likeable characters, this final chapter manages to walk a fine line between hopeful and melancholy as we at last leave them all behind.

Entertaining, uplifting and visually arresting, Klapisch's Chinese Puzzle is one of the year's best French offerings.

This love story didn't strike me much, maybe I'm just too young to appreciate that.

Great French rom-com, with the cast now older again than in the other 2 films and Duris and Tattou make a lovely couple. But so do the others... I really like this series of (now) beginning to age young things. The reality of filming on New York streets is an added bonus. Definitely see it if you can.
