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.

Top CriticKlapisch has made something deliciously close to a nature documentary about the young, the foolish, and the alive.

Top Critic[Xavier] turns this film into more of a self-fixated memoir, less of a blithe ensemble piece.
06/29/06
Top CriticFluffily enjoyable.
06/15/06
Top CriticKlapisch, who digitally divides frames into collages of memory, is perfectly in tune with our era's cynical freedoms.
06/07/06
Top CriticGreat fun, thanks to the sparkling dialogue, entertaining performances, and the gorgeous scenery of Paris, London and St. Petersburg.
06/02/06
Top CriticIt’s well worth a look in this very lean season for grown-up entertainment.
05/31/06
Top CriticThe 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 CriticAs energetic as the original and light as a feather.
05/19/06
Top CriticReilly, 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 CriticMeandering, overlong digital soap opera.
05/12/06
Top CriticIntentional or not, many of Klapisch's tricks frustrate our connection to the characters, especially Xavier.
05/12/06
Top CriticAs the overlong pic wears on, it's hard to care whether the puzzle pieces of the protags' lives fall into place or not.
05/11/06
Top CriticCédric 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 CriticLess, however, would have been considerably more.
05/10/06
Top CriticKlapisch is daring you to call him sentimental. He is. But, as he proves in a sublime ending, he's magical too.
05/10/06
Top CriticThose who loved the original Auberge will likely be eager to book rooms once again.
