Succeeds with believable characters and situations born of lives well studied.
Top CriticThe movie's unique appeal lies less in the style than the substance -- particularly, in the emerging hero at the centre of the tale.
Slyly written, the intelligent social satire is surely acted and ... confidently, ably directed.

... demonstrates that, as in real life, reel life may be both bitter and sweet, sometimes simultaneously.
First time director Agnes Jaoui has done a fine job of springing this little life lesson on us.
A knockout piece of entertainment.
