Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Stephen Holden, New York Times: 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. Read more
David Fear, Time Out: While her focus has drifted away from the upper middle class, Jaoui's sensibility remains rather middlebrow; there's the distinct feeling that she's preaching solely, albeit with impressive subtlety, to the same bourgie choir as before. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: This wistful little film is at just the right temperature. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: Beautifully strange and affecting... Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: 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. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: Jaoui neatly, gently, firmly slips political commentary into Let It Rain's articulate mayhem. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A movie in which everyone was this disappointed, and nobody changed, would be a very sad film, and that's not Jaoui's intent. She's not a cynic but a humanist and, by the end of the film, most of these people have taken some steps toward change. Read more
New York Daily News: It's all a little insular and very conversational, but the setting is cozy and the performances all pleasantly low-key. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Low-key and ruefully well-observed, France's Let It Rain is nevertheless too slight to make much impact. Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: 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. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It's graceful in presenting its ideas, and what emerges is not a polemic but a kind of snapshot of modern-day concerns. Read more
David Jenkins, Time Out: While the genial comic tone and steady torrent of sharp one-liners and social faux pas are effortlessly carried forward from her past work, this is a more subtle, contemplative and mature film. Read more
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice: A specialist in choreographing talky scenes, Agnes Jaoui may also be the most aggressively middlebrow filmmaker working today. Read more
