It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

What had the potential of being a great film with lots of opportunity of being another "The Out of Towners" with Jack Lemon and Sandy Dennis turned out to be a drawn out and tedious film of self indulgence by the director and author, Julie Delpy. The very few laughs or humorous moments were few and far between and the characters were extremely shallow and pathetic. This was watched with a friend who had the same impressions and we both found it to be typical of many French films without much substance and little to say. It was also fairly crude and crass for the sake of just making an impact and added little to whatever points were trying to be made. This was one long, tedious and drawn out film that had little to offer the viewer in terms of comedy and not much to redeem itself in its ending.

The more movies I watch starring Julie Delpy, the more I become a totally devoted fan. I simply love this super talented french actor, director script writer etc. In this movie she is much more than just the head actor, and she shows that she has Monty Python quality although the theme is rather serious. Watch it, please...The wonderful thing is that I can still see true love Celine from sunrise/sunset in her, in these rather desperate possibly more (European) realistic movie. She shows in an authentich way the sometimes HUGE difference between Amerixan and European people and their way of living out their relationships. Big scope to include her wonderful french parents in this movie. Her father is hilarious. They are VERY very European and French, super lovely, and if you don't like them you may simply just happen to have the BIG misfortune to be born in USA. I am sorry for you. Watching the movie will change everything for you in the right direction. Please do. And please go to Europe on your next trip.

Impossible to watch without entertaining the ghost of Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise/Before Sunset). Indeed Delpy clearly has the aesthetic, subject material and script content in her own mind as well. It is a great testament to her that this is an idiosyncratic, coherent and self- contained rom-com in the metropolitan tradition of Annie Hall.It helps that she persuaded Adam Goldberg to play her lover. He's a fine actor (look no further than Linklater's own Dazed and Confused, no less) but here he's careful not to overplay the Jewish weltschmerz. He's attentive to the chief protagonist being the relationship that the two principals have and not each of them individually. Delpy also does a fine job given that she's clearly shuttling between different ends of the camera - not too 'kooky'.The ensemble cast is well taken without reserve, all creating striking but not overpowering characters along the way. The film is shot largely hand-held and jumps through the episodes with an energy that goes with the purported watershed age of Jack and Marion (they're meant to be 35). I liked it very much. 7.5/10

A very good, intellectually and romantically stimulating and wonderful film directed and written by Julie Delpy, who also plays the main character, Marion, to Adam Goldberg's Jack; the two are a couple who spend two days in Marion's hometown Paris, before heading to their home in New York. While there, Jack finds himself strangely surrounded by Marion's exes, a language he doesn't understand and several dramatic and very comedic relationships. Marion evolves and revolves throughout the film. All in all, very comedic, very human (i.e. non-Hollywoodesque) and sympathetic. Straightforward acting, a beautiful script and many laughs makes this a winner.
