The Hollywood Reporter
For all the earnestness with which the filmmakers replicate the muted colors and attitudes of the post-war era, they ultimately fail to say anything truly interesting about either the past or the present, resulting in a work that feels as superficial as it does slick. show more

Populaire has no interest in rewriting the rules of romantic comedy, but it does run through the expected paces with admirable style. show more
