Camille is an emancipated 30-something woman who has no desire to settle down and have a family, preferring to coast along on a succession of ephemeral relationships and one-night stands. However, her lifestyle fails to satisfy her fully, and in a moment of depression she runs into a complete stranger, Alexis, whom she instantly falls in love with. Alexis, alas, is married, with two children, and works for the Socialist Party. None of this is going to deter Camille though…
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Viard's energetic acting is the French production's most memorable asset.
Corsini's insight into the psyche of this contemporary woman doesn't have much of a point because it tells us nothing new.
New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
Viard plays one of the most intriguing female characters in recent film from either side of the Atlantic.
New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
Unpretentious and often witty, it's emotional punch is weakened by spotty performances, especially from Karin Viard in the lead role.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
A beautiful film that flows with a luminous ease and assurance.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Camille's desperate, destructive antics just don't seem especially cute or funny.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
It's fascinating.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
A delight, a vigorous, vibrant romantic comedy that mines emotional desperation and frustration for all its comic potential, but never at the expense of its temperamental heroine.
San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris
Things stay standard-issue French self-analytical from here.
