      Stephen Farber New West/California No Time for Breakfast doesn't do justice to its subject or to the talents of its star. Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) The story is told in a tacky way, featuring music that ranges from corny to sublime. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press No Time For Breakfast is the kind of movie that sneaks up on you. At first glance you get the impression that you have been faced with a French soap opera. But soap operas lack this film's insights and its skilled, understated acting. Feb 4, 2019 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide This plotless film ambles nicely from situation to situation because of Girardot's marvelous performance. Rated: 3/5 Feb 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
