As Peter Bradshaw (The Guardian) says, this is a very likable,
smart, offbeat debut from Delpy as director, inevitably
related to the Richard Linklater films in which she starred.
Similar to the walk-and-talk intimacy of Before Sunrise
and Sunset, but sharper, funnier and less syrupy, we follow
a couple (Delpy and Adam Goldberg), she a Parisian, he a
New Yorker, as they spend a weekend in her home town.
The film was written, edited, directed and co-produced by
its star, who reveals a wicked sense of humour and a real
understanding of relationships. She also wrote the music
and cast her real parents as her onscreen ones. In Philip
French's opinion, Delpy's ego trip proves, fortunately,
to be a happy, very funny excursion.
"Quirky, fresh and sharply intelligent…both thought-provoking
and painfully funny."
