I do not understand the critics on this one . I did not find it at all funny ,even in the ugliest way . In fact , I found most of characters... ely unappealing . Most of the audience upon leaving could not understand why it had such a high critic score . The one word I'd use to describe this movie would be "ANNOYING " Full Review

Let It Rain touches on class issues, feminism, immigration and the particular challenges facing a single, driven career woman in her 40s. But it's graceful in presenting its ideas, and what emerges is not a polemic but a kind of snapshot of modern-day concerns.Full Review

Jaoui neatly, gently, firmly slips political commentary into Let It Rain's articulate mayhem.Full Review

Needlessly complicated, life already has more than enough petty dramas. Let It Rain may not be funny in a ha-ha sense, but it gave me an amused open-mouthed appreciation of life's absurdities, including unanticipated nuisances like bad weather.Full Review

This beautifully strange and affecting comedy, which Agns Jaoui directed from a screenplay she wrote with her husband, Mr. Bacri, is about men who are weak and insecure, and one woman, Agathe, played superbly by Ms. Jaoui, coming to terms with the price of being strong.Full Review

Wall Street Journal

There's not much left to chew on when the movie is over; when Resnais adapted Jaoui and Bacri's scripts, he added a visual counter-narrative that's absent from Jaoui's more functional approach. But a passing delight is a delight all the same.Full Review
