The behavior of two Spanish maids changes the lives of a conservative couple.

Stanley Kauffmann

The New Republic

All in all-if all is meant moderately-the story leaves an agreeable aftertaste, which lingers longer than we expected.

Irish Times

The unreconstructed nature of the comedy ensures that the jokes and even the shots are awfully familiar.

Rated: 3/5

The socio-economic moral is ladled on like great big dollops of paella.

Director and co-writer Philippe Le Guay deploys a gift for wry observation with a deftly understated approach that defuses the danger of triteness and makes the film a satisfying experience.

Epoch Times

Warm and winning, it is a refreshingly sympathetic portrait of a late-middle-aged bourgeoisie man, quite a rarity in contemporary cinema.

Rated: 4/5

Seeing this gentle, amiable film is a bit like spending a couple of hours at a dinner party with many charming guests. You will leave refreshed, in a good mood and with a craving for paella.

Weak and superficial. Occasional nice and funny moments.

Nice acting, nice story. Another love story, but rather unexpected. The bourgeois man is the unlikely hero of the group of spanish maids after hiring a young maid, nice, resourceful and somewhat beautiful. He becomes aware of their troubles and root for them, helping in many ways he can. After some time, he grows a mid-life crisis where he realizes he misses some adventure, and some unpredictability. He finds all this by rejoining the ladies. This happens in a past, modern, but still already half a century away. It is a joyous film with many clichés that are undermined masterfully. We wish evolution to proceeds like this. No need for revolution. Thoughtful from beginning to end.

The Women on the Sixth Floor is an unintelligent and unoriginal french comedy despite its decent sense of humor
