Less, however, would have been considerably more.

Reviews for Russian Dolls
Top CriticKlapisch 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.
07/20/06
(T)he film is all sex and style, with a photogenic cast leaping across Europe while the director plays narrative games.
07/06/06
The cast of renegades is as appealing as ever.
09/01/06
A 30-year-old French writer's struggles with the challenges of work and love in his fast-paced and fragmented urban life.
05/11/06
Klapisch has made something deliciously close to a nature documentary about the young, the foolish, and the alive.
07/21/06
Top CriticAnyone who loved L'Auberge Espagnole should at least like its sequel as something of a guilty fling.
09/18/07
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.
05/19/06
Top CriticSporadically amusing and disappointingly superficial.
05/06/06
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.
05/16/06
Top CriticThose who loved the original Auberge will likely be eager to book rooms once again.
05/09/06
Top CriticIf you saw and enjoyed the previous film, you'll know what to expect, and you'll enjoy it.
08/18/06
Klapisch, who digitally divides frames into collages of memory, is perfectly in tune with our era's cynical freedoms.
06/07/06
Top CriticIt's hard to decide what's prettier in Russian Dolls: the people or the places. Either way, we win.
08/25/06
Cédric Klapisch's Russian Dolls has not much on its mind beyond updating the lives of the characters in his 2002 comedy L'Auberge Espagnole.
05/11/06
Top CriticIntentional or not, many of Klapisch's tricks frustrate our connection to the characters, especially Xavier.
05/12/06
Top CriticWith its crackling dialogue and attractive, fully rounded characters, Russian Dolls puts American movies on similar subjects to shame.
08/18/06
...tired subject matter, regurgitated with very little originality or charm.
05/25/06
Featuring an appealing cast led by Romain Duris, the film has a frothy charm that's hard to resist.
06/02/06
For those who saw and loved L'Auberge Espagnole, Russian Dolls automatically becomes of interest, but writer-director Cedric Klapisch can't quite make the case for it as a stand-alone experience.
