Never less than witty, charming, accomplished.
San Francisco Chronicle by Edward Guthmann
Delicious but complex.
Souffle-light and airily playful.
Wall Street Journal by Joe Morgenstern
Readily accessible, slyly subversive and perfectly delightful film.

Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
This masterful celebration starts off slowly, even uncertainly, giving no hint of the rich and elegant exploration of love, jealousy and animal attraction it will in all good time become.
Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan
A vibrant, multicharacter film that entertains, disorients and enlightens.
Va Savoir doesn't so much flow as wander, trailing off into drama one minute, slapstick the next; it tries your patience, but ever so gently, masterfully.
