Reviews for Look at Me
A witty and acute examination of friendship, ambition and betrayal in the Parisian literary world.
09/30/04
Top CriticA wonderfully witty and observant comedy-drama.
11/02/04
All these proceedings would be harsh and sordid if they were not softened by the sublime music of Mozart, Schubert, Handel and Beethoven, sung by the choral group to which Lolita belongs, and in which she finds a spiritual salve.
10/14/04
Top CriticOccasionally plodding yet mostly wonderful ... Jauoi is quickly proving herself as one to keep an eye on, and possibly even more.
04/21/05
...a perfectly tuned sense of character nuance [that] holds you more spellbound than 90 percent of Hollywood’s “crowd-pleasers.”
03/30/05
An insightful portrait on how proximity to fame can change the way people react with one another.
04/08/05
Jaoui sets her wryly observant sights on family, artistic ambition and the tyranny of physical appearance, and the result is a bright, briskly moving film whose modest scale belies the universality of its themes.
04/29/05
Both an implicit protest against the blindness of power and an equally fervent protest against the acquiescence of men and women who are too weak or too compromised to stand up for themselves -- that is, most people.
05/21/05
Gets under the skin of these varied individuals and reveals them in rich complexity and highly individuated quirkiness
04/04/05
Comme une image will linger in the mind long after the end-credits have disappeared.
10/22/04
Flawlessly acted and meticulously observed.
05/20/05
It's a marvel that reverberates long after we leave the theater.
04/28/05
Top CriticYou won't be able to dismiss this movie as easily as Etienne ignores Lolita.
04/29/05
Gently funny and wise, Look at Me has lots to say about the power of art to make us see the world in a new light, about people who suck all the oxygen out of a room and about how the people in their wake must cope.
04/21/05
This is the kind of fluid, balanced comedy-drama that Woody Allen wishes he could still make.
04/28/05
Top Critic"Look at Me" is a wholesome work of fully rounded dramaturgy that spins on a gyroscope of sustained emotional momentum.
06/08/09
Gorgeously photographed, sublimely acted and perversely funny, Look at Me creates sympathy for characters who are everything that Hollywood wisdom tells us viewers won't identify with.
04/21/05
Ironically and appropriately, the character who actually says "Look at me" remains least noticed throughout.
04/29/05
It builds, almost imperceptibly, to a vision of a world in which no one looks at anyone, at least deeply enough to see beyond the trappings of beauty or fame.
