3/5

Although there’s nothing here that pushes the boat out formally, this is cheat-meal cinema at its most salty and delectable, with some aimiable high-energy turns from Garrel and Cottin.

4/5

Nakache and Toledano conjure one of their most personal projects to date, filled with wonderment, wit, whimsy and small moments of tenderness. An old-school, soft-centred confection.

Affable and endearingly performed, Just an Illusion draws on its directors' own upbringings with relatable results.

3.5/5

With its rapid-fire dialog, messy characters and entangled family drama, this French coming-of-age comedy keeps us thoroughly entertained.
