For those who saw and loved L'Auberge Espagnole, Russian Dolls automatically becomes of interest, but writer-director Cedric Klapisch can't quite make the case for it as a stand-alone experience.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Klapisch has made something deliciously close to a nature documentary about the young, the foolish, and the alive.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh
It's an effortlessly charming ensemble, and Klapisch's characters (most of them anyway) reveal depths of feeling that compensate for the film's lightweight tone and too-long running time.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten
[Xavier] turns this film into more of a self-fixated memoir, less of a blithe ensemble piece.
