Has interesting passages but generally allows itself to suffocate on a flood of talking. [Full review in Spanish]

This movie is like a family holiday that you can sum up to acquaintances in two or three sentences but spend hours agonizing about to your closest friends.

The arrival of Agathe Villanova is at the center of the drama in Let it Rain, and the story benefits from giving her more to do in front of the lens.

Let It Rain may be harmlessly pleasant, but it's harmlessly pleasant to the point of insipidness.

The genial comedy reaches for understated satirical moments.

For all the affairs, the jealousy, the self-involvement and the obliviousness of some characters, these are lives in lower case...

Incapable of rising above mere pleasantness.

Not funny "ha-ha" but funny "huh?"

Agns Jaoui's light farce is so crafty that one might not notice that the breezy story is really about a successful woman getting cut down to size for being too controlling.

Not a laugh riot, but neither is it played for melodrama.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 23, 2010

It's graceful in presenting its ideas, and what emerges is not a polemic but a kind of snapshot of modern-day concerns.

May be a light lunch compared to the full meal of some other recent French offerings but it still tastes damn good.

At times Let It Rain recalls one of those Katharine Hepburn comedies where the New Woman gets cut down to size so as not to intimidate the Old-School Men. Yet the film so likably deflates the pompous and pumps up the humble that it's hard not to like.

The character conflicts are so decorously handled that after a while the whole enterprise begins to seem more like a good waiter than a good story.

Beautifully strange and affecting...

Refreshingly (for American audiences, anyway), everyone in "Let It Rain" has genuinely good intentions.

Full Review | Jun 23, 2010

It's all a little insular and very conversational, but the setting is cozy and the performances all pleasantly low-key.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 20, 2010

May not be funny in a ha-ha sense, but it gave me an amused open-mouthed appreciation of life's absurdities, including unanticipated nuisances like bad weather.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 18, 2010

The performances are excellent, even if none of the characters are all that likeable or involving. Bacri and Debbouze make an intriguing double act.
