Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum

The wry filmmaker has created an urbane society of family and friends as ridiculously pretentious and hypocritical as they are cultured, accomplished, and posh.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard

This audience-pleaser is smart and acerbic. Jaoui has an uncanny ear - as director, co-writer and part of the inspired ensemble cast - for human foibles, self-deception, celebrity worship and female body issues.

San Francisco Chronicle by Ruthe Stein

An engrossing new drama from France.

Boston Globe by Wesley Morris

A marvelous, uncommonly observant, and unexpectedly rousing group portrait.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker

While Look at Me at times falls into familiar plotting, it never offers false hope or false characters.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Carrie Rickey

Brilliant, blistering account of the many ways fame deforms a star, his family and his fans.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan

What makes Look at Me such a deeply satisfying experience is its ability to combine insightful character portraits like this with wickedly funny situations that slyly skewer all-too-human weaknesses.

Rolling Stone by Peter Travers

This bonbon spiked with malice is a triumph for Jaoui, who takes witty and wounding measure of the small betrayals that leave bruises on us all.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Rick Groen

In lesser hands, all this might border on misanthropy. But Jaoui's direction, plus the note-perfect cast, manage two redeeming feats:

Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington

A witty and psychologically perceptive look at the Parisian literary scene.

The New York Times by Dana Stevens

A witty and acute examination of friendship, ambition and betrayal in the Parisian literary world.

L.A. Weekly by Ella Taylor

Directed by Agnès Jaoui, who made the equally delightful "The Taste of Others," this comedy of manners with a serious purpose centers on a group of loosely connected neurotics, all working in the rarefied worlds of amateur chorales.

The New Yorker by David Denby

A tender, indignant, but also very worldly movie.

Variety by Lisa Nesselson

Punchy dialogue, excellent thesping and a real feel for the universal tuning fork of great classical music make this a prime candidate for international arthouse play.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

While Jaoui's film is interesting to watch, it dawdles enough to lose its storytelling grip.

The A.V. Club by Scott Tobias

The film satisfies in much the same way Allen's movie-a-year comedies used to satisfy.

Village Voice by Michael Atkinson

Little in a Jaoui film is particularly original, but it's all perfectly convincing.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

The multitalented Jaoui and Bacri excel on every level; her direction is efficient and unobtrusive, their script dissects the nuances of corruption by celebrity with a razor-sharp scalpel, and they deliver a pair of subtly unsparing performances.
