Tom Keogh Seattle Times 03/18/2005
2.5/4
Her story construction -- blurring fact and fantasy and mixing scenes from different time periods -- is confusing and wearying. Go to Full Review
Andrew Sarris Observer 08/26/2004
This is a rich comedy that leaves you suspended, with all its hubbub, between wanting to laugh and wanting to cry. Go to Full Review
Lou Lumenick New York Post 08/20/2004
2/4
Overlong and heavy-handed, semi-autobiographical dramedy. Go to Full Review
Sean Axmaker Seattle Post-Intelligencer 03/18/2005
C
The contrast of the naive assurance of youth with the confusion and ambiguity of adulthood is sweet but simplistic and the wandering script hasn't much else to offer. Go to Full Review
Maitland McDonagh TV Guide 08/20/2004
2.5/5
It's ultimately hard to care deeply about a silly, sheltered girl-woman who's taking an inordinately long time to learn that money can't buy happiness. Go to Full Review

02/09/2013 (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] A strange film and with a good cast. But, my main problem with it is this: what was the point of the whole thing? A near-miss. See more 12/07/2011 A good first feature film from Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, who wrote and directed the film as well as playing Federica. The script was rather long-winded, without enough substance and not witty. See more 04/11/2011 I don't see much of this film being a comedy in any sense.... See more 02/26/2010 1/2 a star extra for the camel animation at the beginning. the rest of the movie is well-acted but draggy. See more 07/12/2009 It's a good movie if you're French: you understand the conflicts in the Bruni's family (Carla Bruni-Sarkozy isn't from the same father than the rest of her family). On a psychological point of view, it's fun to see a woman feeling guilty of being rich and dating a communist who "has to work" and whose mother "was a maid who could not afford to have a lover"... You can see here the old French war between the left and the right wings (whereas a few wish to be poor...). Valeria is a great actress as well as Jean-Hugues Anglade and Lambert Wilson.
