MPAA RATING: Not rated

Starring Karin Viard, Pierre-Loup Rajot, Catherine Frot, and Sergi López

A portrait of a restless, impulsive Parisiane who throws herself with abandon into relationships with men and women. When she falls madly in love with a man who is happily married with two children, it does not occur to her that breaking up his marriage might be wrong. When he resists, she literally throws herself into the arms of another man to make him jealous and to assuage her wounded pride.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
A delight, a vigorous, vibrant romantic comedy that mines emotional desperation and frustration for all its comic potential, but never at the expense of its temperamental heroine.

Takes its shape from (Viard's) performance, which is as big as life.

Things stay standard-issue French self-analytical from here.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman
Unpretentious and often witty, it's emotional punch is weakened by spotty performances, especially from Karin Viard in the lead role.

LA Weekly Ernest Hardy
Corsini's insight into the psyche of this contemporary woman doesn't have much of a point because it tells us nothing new.

Viard's energetic acting is the French production's most memorable asset.

Camille's desperate, destructive antics just don't seem especially cute or funny.
