2/4
Copacabana proves that Isabelle Huppert can do anything, including starring in a trivial mother-daughter dramedy that's beneath her considerable talents. Go to Full Review
Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) 11/24/2010
3/5
The film maintains an amiable and warm through line about Babou's desire to reconnect with her disapproving daughter, but the real joy here comes from watching (Isabelle) Huppert hustle. Go to Full Review

Glenn Dunks Trespass 09/15/2013
The film finds occasional big laughs out of Huppert's observations of those around her and eventually warms the audience to this character. Go to Full Review
Elise Nakhnikian House Next Door 03/30/2011
A frothy fantasy dressed up as a quirky character study, Copacabana is a mishmash of mismatched parts that left me feeling a little queasy. Go to Full Review

04/03/2017 The usual racist hints of the french frog cinema: foreign tourists are pigeons that can be ripped off, Brazil, a country with a rich yet complex culture, boils down to bimbos in string that dance by showing their buttocks. Pitiful display of stereotyped cliches to the xenophobic relent. To avoid like the plague. See more 05/09/2013 Isabelle Huppert acts great, she is hilarious. See more 06/28/2012 beautiful movie, Huppert is great! See more 01/25/2012 Fitoussi and Huppert together make this low budget one a charm. See more 12/11/2011 One of the handful comic roles by the absolutely fabulous Isabelle Huppert. See more 11/08/2011 i really badly affected by this movie!! i see her in my dreams ..told me to take it easy..i remember when i moved out from the theater after watching this masterpiece and i found four foreign girls dance happily with their cigarettes ..this was me inside to ..the movie could entered every one's soul and stamp "love the life" label!! Isabelle huppert rocks..her role Bobou made us love her..she is simple and she didnt give any attentions about the boxes people made for every thing in the society,,she was out of the box women ..could do what she meant without social boundaries ..she helped two poor married couples to just do it..this is humanity we can see without high soundtracks or tears as American movies show us !! a french movie i will never forget,,i hope i could draw character like Babou one day in an Egyptian movie!!
