Audience Member Film sur l'intrusion d'une actrice dans la vie d'un immeuble parisien. La cuisine chinoise comme remède au mal-être au programme. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Only if you have a serious fetish for LeeLee Sobieski you can rate this boring crap more than a star. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Leelee Sobieski shows she's as underrated an actress in French as in English in this difficult, multilayered portrait of a clash of cultures and generations. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Slow moving and jusrt a little weird, but it could have been worse as the ascting and main caharcters aren't bad Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member "So what, I should drain your balls with elegance?"
