Critic Reviews for Mommy Is at the Hairdresser's

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

The film makes attractive use of vivid period detail, but its episodic narrative never takes hold.

Rob Nelson
Variety
"Maman Est Chez Le Coiffeur" doesn't try to magically produce a happy ending, nor does it become a spectacular tragedy. And for this movie, such an approach works.

Audience Reviews for Mommy Is at the Hairdresser's

Jun 03, 2013

A good film by Lea Pool that explores a family that has had mom leave for supposedly brighter prospects in the midst of the 1960s. An unusual circumstance for the ages leads to unusual behaviour by the kids.
