The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Paints an alluring picture of a pan-European cosmopolitan culture whose characters hopscotch from one country to another with hardly a second thought in a lighthearted floating party.

What are critics saying?

NPR by Mark Jenkins
Klapisch is a master of the half-biting, half-soothing farce, and he usually keeps the divergent tones in harmony.
60
Time Out by Keith Uhlich
A Euro gloss on "Pretty Woman" suddenly turns into "Occupy Gaul."
30
Village Voice by Nick Schager
A feeble stab at topicality from that master of overripe Gallic melodrama, Cédric Klapisch.
25
Slant Magazine by Andrew Schenker
Cédric Klapisch settles for a mixture of bland obviousness and crudely manufactured drama.
