By the time François Ozon released this film he was better known for his short movies and the "Les amants criminels" definitely lacks both quality and intensity to last for 90 minutes. Jérémie Reniers' character was mighty unconvincing and contradicting. Natacha Régnier, on the other hand, has delivered but her effort is diminished, due to the fact, that her role is not central.
On the bright side, film contains pecularities and details only attentive and thinking person can spot and analyze.
Overall, in my humble opinion, I think that 30 to 45 minutes is more than enough for that particular movie, due to the fact that, acting is not great, details are scattered too widely and outcome is predictable.
NOTE: I did not read or watch "Hansel and Gretel".
