(1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 86% Fresh Page   1   "Comme une image will linger in the mind long after the end-credits have disappeared."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij A- ""Look at Me" is a wholesome work of fully rounded dramaturgy that spins on a gyroscope of sustained emotional momentum."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Ironically and appropriately, the character who actually says "Look at me" remains least noticed throughout."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "A student of Patrice Chereau and Eric Rohmer, a considerate Joui sees the humanity in everyone."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez 5/5 "(...) Una comedia humana que incluso depara, según la sensibilidad de cada uno, varias notas de emoción."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B "Bacri and Jaoui happens to have a soft spot for their countrymen, which results in a warm, funny movie for us to like, too."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "The film's reputation on the arthouse circuit precedes it, and rightfully so."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A- "An almost perfect film about decidedly imperfect people...manages to be both profound and delightful."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4.5/5 "Look at Me is a well-written and brilliantly acted French drama about the sharp edges of celebrityhood and criticism in the literary world."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A fine motion picture -- simple, direct, and offering truth."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Jaoui's witty comedy of manners has an empathy that recalls the works of Woody Allen in the 1980s."   Film-Forward.com   Kent Turner 36/100 "Why this won the Best Screenplay award at the last Cannes festival escapes me."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "Not only do Jaoui and Bacri excel at portraying their themes of power and self image, they have a great deal of fun with word play"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Agnès Jaoui’s second film is the type of light, Foucauldian romantic comedy that only the French can make."   Not Coming to a Theater Near You   Leo Goldsmith 3/5 "The multitalented Jaoui and Bacri excel on every level; her direction is efficient and unobtrusive, their script dissects the nuances of corruption by celebrity with a razor-sharp scalpel, and they deliver a pair of subtly unsparing performances."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Hey, if you’re into whiny soap operas about self-obsessed people who never shut up complaining about how miserable they are, have at it."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/5 "Sadly, too much focus is spent on showing character traits that any kind of coherent story or compassion for characters is destroyed."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro 3/5 "A sharp sense of humour and irony keeps this from being yet another talky French film, but only just."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline A- "It just goes to show what you can get with a talented cast, intelligent writing and solid direction."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford A "... a bittersweet look at the joy and frustration and inspirational possibilities of art in a world fixated on appearances and measured by the marketplace."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 21) of 21 OFCS Rating: 86% Fresh Page   1
