    Russian Dolls is itself a delightful mini-trip to Europe. Its overly cute bits are like cinematic tourist traps, but it's the beauty that stays with you.

    Klapisch's use of split screens, fragmented images and nouvelle vague-ish editing would be annoying if it weren't so in keeping with the youthful exuberance his characters haven't quite lost.
  3. Russian Dolls isn't quite the gem that its precursor was. It rambles. It's less of an ensemble effort. There's more of Xavier's moping self-centeredness. But Duris is terrific as the confused cusp-of-30 protagonist, and the rest of the cast is bright and beaming.

    For all its self-conscious pizzazz, this is irresistibly entertaining.

    if you enjoyed L'Auberge Espangole, you will love this. Best movie I have seen this Eternal Sunshine... love story that never gets sappy. Duris and Reilly give tremendous performances, and there's moreTatau than the 1st go around. Expand

    A tad long, but if you loved L'auberge espagnole you will love Russian Dolls.

    A sometimes amusing film that screams "I'm hip!".

    Dreadful. The main character is hateful and empathy with anyone in the film is impossible. The director/screenwriters seem not to care what the audience thinks. Perhaps ironically the protagonist tries to avoid cliches while all along the whole film is one overwhelming cliche. About half way through you stop caring whether the ending will be happy or sad, you just hope that it will be soon. Expand
