    A well achieved sequel of The Spanish Apartment. Klapisch made his characters grow and still managed to keep their essence. Great fun, thanks to the sparkling dialogue, entertaining performances and the gorgeous scenery of Paris, London and St. Petersburg.

    The next stage in the self-development of our cast of characters from "The Spannish Inn" as they continue their lives in the post-University days - every bit as good as the first movie.

    If you liked the first movie (L'Auberge Espagnole), chances are you will love this second film as well. Actually in my opinion this one is much much better!

    You've got Xavier who's evolving and slowly figuring out what he really wants out of life and then you have all the othe...( read more)r characters who are as charming and attaching as they were 5 years ago.

    Cécile de France gives once again a great performance (the lady is hilarious I tell you!) and one of my fave actors in the film has got to be Kelly Reilly. She is amazing! Bravo!

    In a nutshell, this is pretty enjoyable even though it may drag at times, BUT it's snazzy in its own way and it all works. So go ahead and rent this, you have absolutely nothing to lose!

    It lacks the dynamic of "L'auberge espagnole" among other things. Shallow plot.
    Dull.

    Wasnt so good. I think i just expected too much from this movie, and i really dont know why.
  • July 5, 2009
    It was alright.

    Xavier: If I think about all the girls I've known or slept with or just desired, they're like a bunch of Russian dolls. We spend our lives playing the game dying to know who'll be the last, the teeny-tiny one hidden inside all the others. You can't just get to he...( read more)r right away. You have to follow the progression. You have to open them one by one wondering, "Is she the last one?"

Critic Reviews


July 21, 2006
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

For those who saw and loved L'Auberge Espagnole, Russian Dolls automatically becomes of interest, but writer-director Cedric Klapisch can't quite make the case for it as a stand-alone experience. full review

July 21, 2006
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Klapisch has made something deliciously close to a nature documentary about the young, the foolish, and the alive. full review

May 10, 2006
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Klapisch is daring you to call him sentimental. He is. But, as he proves in a sublime ending, he's magical too. full review

May 5, 2006
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

The director's shallow stylistic ticks preclude identifiable emotional or behavioral reality. full review
