Essentially this is Espagnole on repeat, as if the lessons from the former film had been fully expunged after five years on ice.July 21, 2006
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.June 15, 2006
Fluffily enjoyable.August 25, 2006
It's hard to decide what's prettier in Russian Dolls: the people or the places. Either way, we win.September 18, 2007
Anyone who loved L'Auberge Espagnole should at least like its sequel as something of a guilty fling.September 01, 2006
The cast of renegades is as appealing as ever.July 21, 2006
Klapisch has made something deliciously close to a nature documentary about the young, the foolish, and the alive.March 01, 2007
His directorial hand is so handsomely assured and his cast so charming that it's easy to succumb to his let-me-entertain-you blandishmentsAugust 18, 2006
With its crackling dialogue and attractive, fully rounded characters, Russian Dolls puts American movies on similar subjects to shame.June 29, 2006
[Xavier] turns this film into more of a self-fixated memoir, less of a blithe ensemble piece.August 18, 2006
If you saw and enjoyed the previous film, you'll know what to expect, and you'll enjoy it.July 07, 2006
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.
