After his wife leaves him for another man, Jacques hires a housekeeper, Laura, to keep his Paris apartment in order. As he starts increasing her hours and spending more time with her on her days off, Jacques is torn between the pleasure of Laura's company, and the headache that such an intrusion brings to his new domain of singlehood.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton make the life of a middle-aged single person look highly desirable. The Housekeeper doesn't deal in such delusions.

None of this is profoundly new, but the delicacy of the telling is well worth the experience.

fresh:
With their reverse-chemistry, [Bacri and Dequenne are] so good together -- hot and hilarious simultaneously -- that you'd think they'd been a team for ages.

fresh:
It's a slight film, well-acted by Bacri and Emilie Dequenne.

An acutely observed (and felt) essay on loneliness.
