      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Sweet and light, this homage to French vaudeville -- and Francophilia in general -- is pretty, but its air of nostalgia occasionally borders on the saccharine.

      Audience Member Out of date inside out. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Momentarily entertaining French musical set in a political pre-war France, that won´t stick in your mind for too long. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Une agréable façon de se souvenir de l'année 1936 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member a reunion of Gerard Jugnot and Maxence Perrin (Les Choristes) that will make you smile, or maybe cry, once again... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Sweet and retro, nostalgic, but it could have been so much better. It gets so boring.... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone has their falls from grace and subsequent redemption. Faubourg 36 is beautiful, and the music is perky fun. Simply delightful. Just, I don't understand the rushed and tragic ending. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jake Wilson The Age (Australia) Most of the disasters and triumphs that follow can be predicted well in advance. But the film brings them off with panache, particularly when it transforms into the fully fledged musical that it should have been all along. Rated: 3/5 May 1, 2009 Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) This is the sort of sentimental, nostalgic film that constitutes a pleasant night at the movies -- it's churlish to protest that it could have been much more. Rated: 3.5/5 May 1, 2009 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Barratier loves these people, this place, this period. The film is mostly confection, it's true, but of a very high order. Rated: 4/5 May 1, 2009 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Flawed, yet entertaining and uplifting. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) We may love the French and their spirit, their zest for life. But when they start falling in love with themselves, the whoopie turns to ennui. Feb 3, 2018 Full Review Hank Sartin Time Out Chicago Barratier (Les Choristes) seems to be making a bid to be France's new master of sweet nostalgia with a musical bent. Rated: 3/5 Sep 15, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
