- Charming, quintessentially French period romance, technically interesting, emotionally uplifting, and acted and directed with verve and feeling.

  Expected something different
  
  A fascinating film but not really my cup of tea. Bold for the time and curious to see old Paris. Brilliant acting and twisted lines.
