Search: Starring Jean-Pierre Bacri

So much is going on that Nakache and Toledano are able to slyly set-up jokes in such a way that we barely notice them, so that when they pay off their impact is greater.

The writing has a cutting edge and the performances are uniformly fine.

Brimming with charm.

If you'll forgive the stereotype, it should be more French, damnit.

An uneven film with occasional moments of genius.

The performances are delightful.

Deneuve has taken an enormous risk with this role, which has paid off a thousand fold.

It is about the counterpointing of the popular with the stuffiness of well respected art, the harsh cold fluorescent light of the Metro station with the more humane darkness of the interconnecting conduits and forgotten spaces.

Comic tension stretches beyond stereotype to an absurd and painful reality.
