Reviews for Un Air de Famille
This droll symphony of comic disenchantment is as perfectly balanced and executed as the timepiece of your dreams.
Go see it with a member of your family and you will emerge both better for it and delightfully entertained.
If we want to analyze the average family, we can go home for the holidays.
There is something compelling about watching a slice-of-life saga that is so well acted.
It is directed by Cedric Klapisch, a former N.Y.U. film student, who has a knack for making films with wry observations regarding relationships
The film begins on a humorous note and goes on to find some universal truths in its family tensions.
This series of dialogues is so truthful and is so on-target with its barbs that it's much harder to resist than it sounds.
A nostalgic reminder of why some of us fell in love with French films in the first place.
Klapisch's mobile adaptation of the work to the screen is very intelligently carried out in terms of time as well as space.
Klapisch's talent with actors is unmistakable, as is his feeling for how to make a dialogue-heavy script appear cinematic.
