Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Feels like one idea stretched into a modest, colorful display. But what a sweet display it is.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
2 Sep 2005
fresh:
Becomes a quiet tribute to friendship, and to the way that something torn can be made perfect again.
– Moira MacDonald,
Seattle Times,
12 Aug 2005
fresh:
Eleonore Faucher's quietly assured debut is a lovely, almost painfully intimate story of female bonding that never panders to its characters or its audience.
– Elizabeth Weitzman,
New York Daily News,
27 May 2005
fresh:
Eleonore Faucher, first-time director (and co-writer) of the French charmer Sequins, is well aware of Neymark's allure and sees to it that the young woman is seldom out of the frame.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,
27 May 2005
rotten:
In this decorous trifle from France, the director Eleonore Faucher builds her story with studied deliberation and piece by precious piece.
