Reviews for The Taste of Others
Slyly written, the intelligent social satire is surely acted and ... confidently, ably directed.

It is an interesting character study as far as it goes, but it seems a bit slight and low-key. It isn't simplistic, but it isn't all that rich and complex, either.
09/11/01
A genial yet insightful comedy-drama, a film of rare grace and honest humor.
09/11/01
An affectionate portrait of a cross section of humanity.
08/24/01
Jaoui ... has an unerring eye for the things men and women do to impress each other.

There are some things the French do better than we do, and the small movie is one.
06/29/01
A worldly-wise, compassionate and charmingly acted Gallic comedy.

Confirms that France may be producing, per capita, more good films than any country on the globe.
06/15/01
An alert, unusually observant comedy of manners that is often very funny and cynical about human foibles but also comes with a melancholy underlay that's pensive and tender.
06/04/01
May well be one of the best ensemble performances this year.
05/29/01
Rich with gentle humor and insight.
05/25/01
This warm, funny, all too human story is about how people's myopia can lead them astray in their search for happiness.
05/23/01
The characters prove to be engaging and their quite real human emotions are enough to carry it.
05/21/01
The characters are so appealing that you can't help but fall in love with them.
05/18/01
Will entertain and provoke, and leave a flavorful memory behind.
04/30/01
Rich with vivid characters and revelations about the illogical yet human ways in which we crash and intersect.
04/10/01
This charming French film reveals that there is no certainty in any romantic relationship except the prospect of more and more complications.
04/06/01
The spirit of belonging is delicately captured by one of the film's concluding scenes.
04/03/01
Good-hearted and deeply funny.
