    The acting by the cast in "and now... ladies and gentlemen" - both by great actors like Jeremy Irons, as well as others, like Patricia Kaas a famous Jazz singer, is beautiful, very deeply felt.
    I was moved by the expression in these two actor's eyes. But one mustn't consider and ...( read more)rate acting by itself in Lelouch movies,which I was not familiar with, but it is the unity of all skills and feelings that make his work so profound. The acting, directing, photography, music... they make up the story.

    This movie is filled with illusions, and incredible photographic beauty, specially the ones in Morocco. A must to see.

    somehow the Morocco inspector reminds me of the TV serie Inspector Colombo, (funny)

    Jeremy Irons and Patricia Kaas are a gorgeous couple...but the jazz music was not to my tastes, and I found the ending made me feel sea-sick and unsatisfied.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's silly the way hope, optimism and love are silly: silly and rather wonderful. full review

August 22, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

I can't quite recommend the movie, but I confess a certain fugitive affection for it. full review

August 21, 2003
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's a sparkling mix of romance, comedy and drama, with gorgeous stars, breathtaking locations and a tricky story structure that eludes every effort to guess what might happen next. full review

July 31, 2003
A.O. Scott, The New York Times

The film goes on too long and adds up to very little, but the director's undisguised pleasure in filming the world of his grandiose, sentimental dreams is contagious. full review
