2.5/5
"When, far too late in the day for us to care, they enter Hitchcock territory, the plot shift gives you the cinematic equivalent of whiplash and leaves you holding your head, wondering how on earth it happened and really rather wishing it hadn't."  Eye for Film  Amber Wilkinson

2/4
"If you think I'm being tasteless, you should see the movie."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

2.5/5
"Obsessed with the image of its tall and tan leading lady, The Girl from Monaco ends up a weak cocktail with a big red cherry floating between its ice cubes."  Filmcritic.com  Chris Cabin

B
"A clever genre-blender from Anne Fontaine, "The Girl From Monaco" is a romantic satire that achieves a delicate balance of motivation and risk reward or punishment on the social stage of its French Riviera town."  ColeSmithey.com  Cole Smithey

C
"A confection that has gone sour before you've finished consuming it."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

1.5/5
"If a man had directed The Girl from Monaco, this erstwhile comedy would be labeled misogynistic -- a charge that would stick."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

"Luchini and Zern develop a nice rapport in their scenes together that helps to keep the whole enterprise afloat and Bourgoin is enough of a looker to explain why both would become so infatuated with her."  eFilmCritic.com  Peter Sobczynski

7/10
"It's not at all as disposable as it seems at first glance."  Antagony & Ecstasy  Tim Brayton
