Christopher Campbell

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

David Noh

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

Christopher Null

Essentially this is Espagnole on repeat, as if the lessons from the former film had been fully expunged after five years on ice.

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

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

Michele Kenner

With its crackling dialogue and attractive, fully rounded characters, Russian Dolls puts American movies on similar subjects to shame.

Mick LaSalle

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.

Ty Burr

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

Jeffrey M. Anderson

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.

Jeff Shannon

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.

(T)he film is all sex and style, with a photogenic cast leaping across Europe while the director plays narrative games.

Mike Russell

A sort of wandering rom-com epic -- kicking romantic fallacies in the ribs while capturing something essential about the solipsism and dreams of young urbanites.

If you can't afford to make that big European vacation this summer, "Russian Dolls" provides both the locations and some amusing company for the journey.

Michael Wilmington

[Xavier] turns this film into more of a self-fixated memoir, less of a blithe ensemble piece.

Klapisch, who digitally divides frames into collages of memory, is perfectly in tune with our era's cynical freedoms.
