There is something compelling about watching a slice-of-life saga that is so well acted.

This series of dialogues is so truthful and is so on-target with its barbs that it's much harder to resist than it sounds.

Klapisch's mobile adaptation of the work to the screen is very intelligently carried out in terms of time as well as space.

Klapisch's talent with actors is unmistakable, as is his feeling for how to make a dialogue-heavy script appear cinematic.
