Struggling to make ends meet, Julie finally finds some stability after landing a job at a luxury shoe factory. When management threatens to close down the factory, she must decide whether to keep a low profile or fight back on the picket line.

Ben Sachs

Chicago Reader

The performances, songs, and choreography are all charmingly low-key, giving the film a handmade quality that suggests pride in a job well done.

San Diego Reader

Yes, the whole thing is fantastical, a daydream of people triumphing over profits via brilliant PR, and love making a case for itself in the face of everything. But it's just believable enough to make at least some of us play along.

Rated: 2/5

While Footnotes works up a certain provisional charm at moments, it's too determinedly low key as a whole to make a really memorable impression.

Rated: 2/4

Cinema Crazed

Footnotes is worthwhile watch with some fun, light sequences, an obsession with shoes, and a message about globalization that is passes rather easily and not forcefully.

Rated: 4/5

Unkempt, and all the more charming for it, Footnotes may not slide into off-key territory, but is quickly diminished when considering the footsteps of the icons it tries to ape.

Rated: 2.5/5

Modest tonic, a bright and agreeable musical drawing on the boldly colored palette of countryman Jacques Demy and American filmmakers like Stanley Donen.

Rated: 6/10
