By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 16 Jun 2011

Deneuve's combination of dignity and a determined ordinariness is just right, while Depardieu's lovelorn political beast is equally watchable…

Review of Potiche (1983)

By Anna Smith (519) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 12 Jun 2011
