"Happenstance" is a well made French flick about a long series of interconnected cause/effect events which bring the storyline full circle resulting in the realization of a prediction made early in the film. Unfortunately, because of the film's novel premise, there is no time for character development or a story with depth, etc. The result is a sort of light drama with the feel of a concocted documentary...little glimpses into the lives of many giving the audience little time to do more than try to keep up with what can become a monotonous and seemingly endless chain of events. Given that the film is a subtitled novelty product at best, it would be difficult to recommend it to the public at large.
