Reviews for Russian Dolls
Great fun, thanks to the sparkling dialogue, entertaining performances, and the gorgeous scenery of Paris, London and St. Petersburg.
06/02/06
It’s well worth a look in this very lean season for grown-up entertainment.
05/31/06
Top CriticKlapisch keeps things light and breezy as Xavier hops from city to city (Paris, London and St. Petersburg) and bed to bed.
05/26/06
This comedy-drama has some modest charms.
05/26/06
...tired subject matter, regurgitated with very little originality or charm.
05/25/06
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 CriticAs energetic as the original and light as a feather.
05/19/06
Precisely observed, charming and -- for better and worse -- light as air.
05/18/06
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 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
The actors create engaging characterizations of young people continually evolving.
05/12/06
In small, insightful, and charmingly illustrated moments, Klapisch shows he has something real to say about what makes a life successful.
05/12/06
As 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
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
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 CriticLess, however, would have been considerably more.
05/10/06
Top Critic[Klapisch's] faith in love is tempered by a clear-eyed understanding of just how much it demands of lovers.
05/10/06
Klapisch is daring you to call him sentimental. He is. But, as he proves in a sublime ending, he's magical too.
