      83% 119 Reviews Tomatometer 61% 2,500+ Ratings Audience Score In 1977 France, tightfisted factory owner Robert Pujol (Fabrice Luchini) is so shocked when his workers strike for higher wages that he suffers a heart attack. His acquiescent wife, Suzanne (Catherine Deneuve), whose father had founded the factory, takes over management duties during Robert's convalescence. To her own surprise, Suzanne turns out to be a natural leader whose less dictatorial management inspires both her workers and local liberal politician Babin (Gérard Depardieu).

      Audience Member Masterful actors having fun and inhaibiting characters like a glove; breezy fun Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review chris k A film that is entertaining and satirical but is nonetheless just a mediocre work. Catherine Deneuve surely owns the part though! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't like to give bad reviews but I have to say that this movie was pretty silly and not that entertaining considering the star power. The premise is interesting. I think the moral of the story is don't let anyone else's thoughts of you hold you back to realizing your dreams. You have unlimited potential no matter your circumstances. No real need to see this film Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The genre pastiche was initially repulsive, especially the cloying music, but I put my trust in Ozon, and he of course steered it in an unexpected direction. Once I got on its weird wavelength I ended up finding it pretty emotionally absorbing and rewarding. It doesn't wink at the audience, or let the audience in on when it's being sincere and when it's being absurd and ironic, and I appreciate that a lot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It's lightweight and at times naïve, but the charm is impossible to resist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Thoroughly enjoyed 5/9/15 at Catherine Deneuve â" Une RÃ (C)trospective @AFdeSydney Classic Film Festival Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Kimber Myers The Playlist Even though we don't really care about the dialogue or script at times, it's easy--and fun!--to be distracted by the pretty pictures. Rated: B- Aug 15, 2013 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Deneuve's combination of dignity and a determined ordinariness is just right, while Depardieu's lovelorn political beast is equally watchable. Rated: 3/5 Jun 17, 2011 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Catherine Deneuve is on magnificent form -- singing and dancing! -- in Franois Ozon's comedy of female emancipation in the 1970s. Rated: 3/5 Jun 17, 2011 Full Review Merryn Johns Curve This charming tale of a cosseted French housewife, Suzanne, who takes over her tyrannical husband’s umbrella factory and meets the requests of its mutinous employees, is a tale of feminist awakening -- it’s a war of the classes, and the sexes. May 24, 2022 Full Review Popmatters Staff PopMatters Catherine Deneuve embraces absurdity and creates a sharp contrast between her statue-like beauty with the silliness of her setting. Dec 11, 2021 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Universal enough in its themes and dialogue that it would serve as a great intro to French cinema. Rated: 3.5/4.0 Sep 20, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
