Critic Reviews

William Arnold

A thoroughly enjoyably and wistfully charming ensemble drama carried off with an irresistible Gallic flair. Read full review

Ruthe Stein

That the film succeeds as well as it does despite a series of coincidences that strain credibility is a credit to a fine cast and a joie de vivre that pervades even the most implausible moments. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

Thompson's stories are familiar, but she weaves them together with such assurance and good humor that they're equally soothing and thoroughly enjoyable. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Avenue Montaigne transforms an overwhelming metropolis into a user-friendly village with quirkily appealing characters. Read full review

Ella Taylor

Not that Thompson's films lack for romance. She shoots Paris like Woody Allen shoots New York--ritzy, golden, and packed with chance meetings between highly strung arty types. Read full review

Josh Rosenblatt

With her lithe frame and insouciantly boyish mop of blond hair, De France is a particularly French sort of film heroine. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

A lightweight French comedy worth watching only for Cecile de France. The gamine actress - decked out in short reddish hair, black tights and a thigh-high mini - is charming as Jessica. Read full review
