Top CriticResonant with acute and accurate observations of people at that devastating stage in life where the glow and glory of youth is dimming into a dull realisation that fun spelt backwards is 'nuf, Russian Dolls is an achingly bitter sweet film.

Anyone who loved L'Auberge Espagnole should at least like its sequel as something of a guilty fling.
09/18/07
His directorial hand is so handsomely assured and his cast so charming that it's easy to succumb to his let-me-entertain-you blandishments
03/01/07
Essentially this is Espagnole on repeat, as if the lessons from the former film had been fully expunged after five years on ice.
09/16/06
The cast of renegades is as appealing as ever.
09/01/06
It's hard to decide what's prettier in Russian Dolls: the people or the places. Either way, we win.
08/25/06
If you saw and enjoyed the previous film, you'll know what to expect, and you'll enjoy it.
08/18/06
With its crackling dialogue and attractive, fully rounded characters, Russian Dolls puts American movies on similar subjects to shame.
08/18/06
For those who saw and loved L'Auberge Espagnole, Russian Dolls automatically becomes of interest, but writer-director Cedric Klapisch can't quite make the case for it as a stand-alone experience.
07/21/06
Klapisch has made something deliciously close to a nature documentary about the young, the foolish, and the alive.
07/21/06
Klapisch has a light, springy touch and a real adoration for his characters and their Paris/London locations, and even at a lengthy 126 minutes, the film never drags.
07/20/06
It's an effortlessly charming ensemble, and Klapisch's characters (most of them anyway) reveal depths of feeling that compensate for the film's lightweight tone and too-long running time.
07/07/06
(T)he film is all sex and style, with a photogenic cast leaping across Europe while the director plays narrative games.
07/06/06
A sort of wandering rom-com epic -- kicking romantic fallacies in the ribs while capturing something essential about the solipsism and dreams of young urbanites.
06/30/06
If you can't afford to make that big European vacation this summer, "Russian Dolls" provides both the locations and some amusing company for the journey.
06/30/06
[Xavier] turns this film into more of a self-fixated memoir, less of a blithe ensemble piece.
