Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movies too often sentimentalize old people. They are either wise or childlike, and in either case they seem to have outgrown the weaknesses of youth. Tatie Danielle hasn't. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Terry Francis Southern Voice (Atlanta) Hard as a diamond. Rated: 3/4 May 9, 2023 Full Review Adam Lippe Examiner.com Tatie Danielle is like a treatise on how to defang passive aggression, which would clearly benefit us all. Nov 4, 2011 Full Review Jake Euker F5 (Wichita, KS) Rated: 3/5 Jul 17, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 3/5 Jun 27, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A very engaging dark comedy that simultaneouslydelights and horrifies with its portrait of the worst character traits a human can have. In another life, Tatie must have been a serial killer and thoroughly enjoyed herself while wreaking havoc upon other people's lives. A must see before you die. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is a truly dark film. The film follows an old woman, who uses and manipulates her own family, to get what she wants. The characters are hilarious, the acting especially from Tatie Danielle is amazing,you'll be laughing the whole way through! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review mark b Grumpy old woman enjoys making other people's lives a misery except on rare occasions when she does something nice. Repeat for 2 hours. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Ahah ce film !! 15 ans apres toujours aussi agacant. Une envie de la baffer cette vieille. Esperons qu'on ne soit pas comme ca quand on sera vieux.
