  Hilarious and well observed film about obnoxious elderly lady
  
  Good entertainment - lots of laughs and good observation. It contained some pointed home truths about the difficulties of accommodating elderly relatives.

  Try it.
  
  Brilliant and cruel. I saw this years ago in France and it still shocked me. If your into French film this is one for the collection.

  Not amused.
  
  We agree with those reviewers who found this tale of an exceptionally badly behaved old woman to be completely lacking in humour.
