Critic Reviews

Robert Dominguez

With a plot laden with mistaken identities, voyeurism, marijuana-laced brownies and even a cameo by Vanessa Redgrave playing herself, "Merci" tries too hard to be madcap. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

An elegant Merchant Ivory production, it is too slight and perhaps too precious. But it will be a witty pleasure for admirers of its grande dames: Dianne Wiest, Jane Birkin and Bulle Ogier. Read full review

Joe Mader

Litvack is lazy with his jokes, characterizations, motives, and plotting. Read full review

Ella Taylor

This is less a coming-out tale than a showcase for late-middle-aged hysterical divas in flowing caftans to yell, scream and ride roughshod over the young homosexuals who are nominally the movie's center. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Brainless and pointless. Read full review

Dallas Observer Robert Wilonsky

Andrew Litvack, whose inability to direct is outweighed only by his inability to write anything remotely witty, enlightening, or engaging. Calling this a farce would be, well, a farce. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

A disastrous stab at contemporary farce. Read full review
