all four stars for audrey
and she was the only reason why i watched this, the supporting characters were good as the pickpockets.even when audrey is playing a bad girl, she still conveys a sweetness that makes her appealing. the guy who played her boyfriend was a true jerk, and i was glad he got his. audrey has over ten movies under her belt and is about to be unleashed onto america in a big way...she will make america debut in may 2006 in " the davinci code..."

A darkly comical "coming-of-age" film
This is an earlier Audrey Tautou movie (2000), with a feel darker than Amelie, but not as heavy as Pretty Dirty Things. In this film, Tautou (as always) plays an off-center lovable young woman (Anne-Sophie) who finds unique ways of dealing with the difficulties of life. When she travels to Paris to surprise her boyfriend and finds him with another woman, Anne-Sophie decides to end it all in a gymnasium. However, she instead meets two sisters who have another way of dealing with life - petty crime. Despite some rough starts, the three become rather like sisters. The movie perpetually crosses between (and together) comedy and drama, but never seems to leave the scope of the three women and those close to them (the "step-father" cop, the single mom, the boyfriend to revenge). Finally, when the results of the pranks and thievery threaten to overwhelm the women, the detective step-father (to-be) steps in and shows them (and the audience) that he can be trusted. Thus, throughout the petty deceptions of the film, resolution appears in an unexpected spot. <

>In terms of the quality of the film, it has an "older" feel than I expected - sort of a mid-1980s touch to it. Also, the scenery is grungy and working-class, and, like the seemier side of life that appear but don't overwhelm, makes the funny bits dark and the unsettling bits darker. Yet there is an irreverance too, so that even the unsettling bits have a touch of humor to them. <

>Overall, I recommend the movie. Particularly if you are an Audrey fan, this film, while not the high of Amelie, has many classic moments.

Better than god is great, but not as good as others
If we're comparing this to other Audrey movies, this one is just OK. It's more bearable than God is Great. Doesn't Audrey like to play psychos??? This movie is a bit strange, just like her others ones... but it's doable...
