I for one enjoyed the movie and loved the score. Will Sony Classics be bringing out the cd? GSmith
Brilliant film that presents an idealistic Parisian life at the time of the Front Populaire. Great songs, beautiful image, it has funny moments.

Variety
Schematically scripted tale revels in its multiple story arcs, but shows signs of battle fatigue in the later reels. Full Review

Boston Globe
In short, the financial crisis and social upheaval of 1930s France never looked so appealing. Full Review
