Talented 20-year-old Lolita (Marilou Berry) dreams of a singing career. But her self-esteem is low due to her weight problem and her narcissistic father, Étienne (Jean-Pierre Bacri), a literary star with scant interest in his daughter's life. Lolita finds little comfort in the attentions of her vocal coach, suspecting the woman is using her to meet her influential father. Étienne's second wife proves to be Lolita's only trustworthy ally in her private battle to find a sense of worth.

Richard Nilsen Arizona Republic 05/26/2005
3.5/5
The pleasure of the film, as in many French films from Renoir to Rohmer, is in the exactitude of observation, the accuracy of the portrait and the elegance of the writing. Go to Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle 05/21/2005
3.5/5
Although little about the story seems surprising or spontaneous, the film's delights lie in its acute observation of the characters and their interactions. Go to Full Review Anthony Lane The New Yorker 05/21/2005
Both an implicit protest against the blindness of power and an equally fervent protest against the acquiescence of men and women who are too weak or too compromised to stand up for themselves -- that is, most people. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 06/08/2009

3/4
Examines a variety of questions, such as superficiality versus substance, materialism versus self-worth, and taking advantage of others versus forming sincere relationships. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
