Review of Potiche (1983)

By Phil S (666) on 06 Feb 2013

This movie is okay. Not great. Not horrible. The pacing is a little off and the humor at times is more cutesy than funny…

Review of Potiche (1983)

By Peter C (1,037) on 07 Apr 2013

Charming and sweet, bright and breezy, raising a few wry smiles, but plot overly simplistic and characters too restrained for my liking…

Review of Potiche (1983)

By Anna B (1,143) on 31 Jul 2016

It was OK. Not laugh out loud funny, but cute. It's a parody of French films from the 70s…

Review of Potiche (1983)

By Jonas S (62) on 02 Aug 2012

I completely loved this movie! It's funny, smart, adorable (I never use that word, but it fits 100%), cynical, sarcastic...all good things…

It's not easy to adapt this kind of play into the big screen, but they've have done it in a very pleasant way…

By Pierre M (106) on 06 Dec 2011

Light and frothy but with a real social message…

Review of Potiche (1983)

By Joseph Walsh (276) for CineVue (2,163) on 28 Aug 2018

I guarantee that you will enjoy this camp, funny and political film that uses its seventies setting to engage the viewer in equality issues…

Review of Potiche (1983)

By Paul C (2,626) on 18 Feb 2012

Absolutely fantastic, high camp, perfectly observed 70s, and yet warm, charming and intelligent. Denevue is a treat! FAB…

Review of Smiles of a Summer Night (1955)

By Lucky V (11) on 24 Dec 2007

I'm sorry but that's not a very funny movie, looks like it was done in the 19th century, and please, it is not thought provoking, complex or deep…
