An uncommonly shrewd and funny farce.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Luchini's trademark mannerisms, which in some films can be irritating, are here perfectly judged and appropriate. Zem confirms his growing stature as a boxoffice attraction, [and] Bourgoin does well to keep her character from veering into caricature.
Bernard Besserglik, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
A generally entertaining piece of fluff that's kept afloat by a weathered cast including Fabrice Luchini and Roschdy Zem.
Derek Elley, Variety
Rotten
As a solid thriller, La fille de Monaco feels like it's missed the mark.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
