Agathe Villanova is a self-centered, workaholic feminist politician who, upon reluctantly returning to her home in the south of France to sort out her mother's affairs, runs for a local election. Upon her arrival, Agathe grudgingly agrees to take part in a documentary being made by the blundering duo of Karim, an aspiring filmmaker, and self-professed "reporter" Michel, on the subject of "successful women." As Agathe's life hilariously unravels, the camera is there to capture it all.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Beautifully strange and affecting...

rotten:
The character conflicts are so decorously handled that after a while the whole enterprise begins to seem more like a good waiter than a good story.

fresh:
At times Let It Rain recalls one of those Katharine Hepburn comedies where the New Woman gets cut down to size so as not to intimidate the Old-School Men. Yet the film so likably deflates the pompous and pumps up the humble that it's hard not to like.

fresh:
It's graceful in presenting its ideas, and what emerges is not a polemic but a kind of snapshot of modern-day concerns.

fresh:
Not a laugh riot, but neither is it played for melodrama.
