Reviews

"It's the kind of motion picture that's both intelligent and immensely likable -- just like the main character."

   - James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS

"Delightful and original, the film conjures up a corner of Paris distinct and specific, yet fairy-tale fanciful."

   - Jay Carr, Boston Globe
