As energetic as the original and light as a feather.

It’s well worth a look in this very lean season for grown-up entertainment.

Those who loved the original Auberge will likely be eager to book rooms once again.

[A] more finely wrought, well-matured version of the film that inspired it. Which, however, does not exclude a lot of meaningless fun!

The early 30s crisis certainly looks more tenable if it's unfolding among several European capitals, but the movie lacks the specificity and focus of the first.

It's hard to decide what's prettier in Russian Dolls: the people or the places. Either way, we win.

Anyone who loved L'Auberge Espagnole should at least like its sequel as something of a guilty fling.

Reilly, who was born in Surrey in 1977, and has been active on the London stage as well as in movies, engages each man she meets onscreen with her face, her body, her breathing.

His directorial hand is so handsomely assured and his cast so charming that it's easy to succumb to his let-me-entertain-you blandishments

Russian Dolls might not have as many layers as its namesake but when it's this sweet and feisty, it doesn't really matter.

Great fun, thanks to the sparkling dialogue, entertaining performances, and the gorgeous scenery of Paris, London and St. Petersburg.

'Russian Dolls' is not an intellectually cohesive movie, but it's so much exuberant fun, it doesn't matter

If you saw and enjoyed the previous film, you'll know what to expect, and you'll enjoy it.

It's an effortlessly charming ensemble, and Klapisch's characters (most of them anyway) reveal depths of feeling that compensate for the film's lightweight tone and too-long running time.

This comedy-drama has some modest charms.

Klapisch has a light, springy touch and a real adoration for his characters and their Paris/London locations, and even at a lengthy 126 minutes, the film never drags.
