Critic Reviews

Stanley Kauffmann

This French pastry, directed by Danièle Thompson, who wrote it with her son Christopher, is a meet-cute comedy in excelsis. Or very near excelsis. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

It's a pleasure to encounter a confectionary love story in which a man and woman of age and experience discover feelings that youth, more and more, has a patent on in Hollywood. Read full review

Paula Nechak

It's light and airy and, unlike the land-locked planes, runs the risk of nearly floating away into innocuous obscurity. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Jet Lag is sort of a grown-up version of "Before Sunrise"...The difference between the two films is sort of depressing. Read full review

However, the cell phone as the principal prop evidently never needs recharging, and is as improbable as a John Wayne six-gun that shoots into next week without reloading.… Expand

Maybe viewers have not understood the English subtitles, but when all the pretense is gone and the character or work we believe that others see is not really there, can an individual find a true personality and finally show emotion to relate to another. One can hope to find a meaningful connection.
