1 - 8 (sorted by date; UK critics are listed first)
Top CriticThe Singer requires a certain amount of sentimental indulgence, and indeed a specific fondness for French chansons to be really loved.
09/28/07
Top CriticGerard Depardieu as the walrus of lurve chansons? It’s unlikely, but it works.
09/28/07
Top CriticConstantly confounding expectations, this is a film of heart and humour.
09/28/07
Top CriticJust like the songs that it celebrates, Giannoli's film may speak to the universal human feelings of love, loss and loneliness, but its rather crusty veneer will not be to everyone's tastes.
09/20/07
Top CriticAn admirably tough, ambivalent and honest look at the fraught relationship between real feelings and the culturally acceptable (or otherwise) public expression of similar emotions as manipulative entertainment. Excellent.
