    Look at Me is a French film directed by Agnes Jaoui who also co-stars in the film with her off-screen husband Jean-Pierre Bacri. Both wrote the screenplay for this insightful look at the human condition told in the interesting backdrop of the French literary and arts community. The film has a number of messages and subtleties that are conveyed to the viewer easily and clearly in spite of the English titles that support the all French dialogue save for the on screen playing of “It’s a good day” sung by Peggy Lee. The film earns and gets an 80. Ms Jaoui’s acting is only superceded by her superb job of directing as the film flows along telling its story simply yet profoundly. A winner for this husband and wife team and the others in the cast whose contributions are likewise vital and significant.… Expand

    Beautiful tough drama-comedy about the dictatorship of image and the difficulties to survive to your parents... Bacri and Jaoui besides being fantastic actors proved once again to be able with their scripts to talk poignantly about the subtle violence and traumas we tend to hide in everyday life. Their mirrors are unconventionally funny but also deeply truthful.

    Punchy dialogue, excellent thesping and a real feel for the universal tuning fork of great classical music make this a prime candidate for international arthouse play.

    A tender, indignant, but also very worldly movie.

    Little in a Jaoui film is particularly original, but it's all perfectly convincing.
