Petersen and van der Groen play affectingly against each other in this geriatric heartwarmer.

Top CriticThat director Lieven Debrauwer has presented, in only 78 minutes, such richly drawn characters at such a leisurely pace seems like a minor miracle.

All the actors are good in Pauline & Paulette but van der Groen, described as 'Belgium's national treasure,' is especially terrific as Pauline.
03/22/02
Top CriticGenerates powerful emotions without the aid of unexpected twists or significant conclusions.

Tart, smart and satisfying.

Seek it out and nourish your beautiful mind.
