    2.0 out of 5 stars Why do mediocre things happen to bad people?
    Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2024

    This movie seems to be a total Rorschach test for Amazon reviewers. Different reviews focus on different aspects of the plot, almost as if we can’t agree on what the central story even is. While some focus on the friendship between the two writers, it seems clear to me that the main story is about a frumpy daughter with a strained relationship with her celebrity father.

    It’s a common story, almost a cliché. The brilliant, ill-tempered artist who lashes out at everyone without realizing it and neglects his adult daughter in favor of his hot young trophy wife. But in this version, it’s hard to have any sympathy for the daughter either because she’s not very nice to the people around her. She invites a guy that she just met to accompany her to her father’s country house, leads him on, brushes him off, and then totally ditches him once her old boyfriend comes back. Also, I think that it’s pretty pathetic when a college student bases her entire self-worth on what her disinterested father thinks. I’ve had my fair share of strained family relations but I was way too busy in college to care about whether my parents or grandparents came to any of my performances.

    The other main female character is Sylvia, Lolita’s choir instructor and the wife of the novelist that Lolita’s father befriends. It makes sense that she’s played by the director of the movie since her character seems kinda pointless otherwise. She’s there to waste screentime and pass judgment on things that aren’t any of her business. And at the end of the movie, she leaves her husband for... (checks notes) ...not getting involved in other people’s family arguments.

    For high school students: this movie offers a great theme for teens: self image. Unfortunately, the theme itself is drowned out by too much dialogue. As a high school French teacher, I rate this film as boring for students.

    2.0 out of 5 stars More Sad than Funny
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018
    Lolita hopes her famous father will notice that she has a beautiful voice, but he is so wrapped up in his own writer's block and his wheelings and dealings that he doesn't notice. It turns out that she's also wrapped up in herself. Meanwhile, Sylvia has given up her career in singing to care for struggling writer Pierre, and he, too, is entirely wrapped in himself. So, this is not an appealing group. It's hardly a surprise that success does not help any of them and that relationships are left in tatters. The film seems longer than it is.

    4.0 out of 5 stars engrossing family drama
    Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2006
    "Look at Me" is a talky but generally interesting French drama about a teenage girl's attempt to earn the love and recognition of her strangely distant father. Lolita is an overweight, aspiring singer who has lived in the shadow of her parent, a self-absorbed but successful novelist, all her life. Even though Etienne seems to care for his very young second wife and five-year-old daughter, he appears to have little interest in Lolita. Indeed, when he isn't completely ignoring her, in public or in private, he is wounding her with deprecating comments about her talent and weight. In the film's other major plot strand, Lolita's voice coach, Sylvia, is also married to an author, Pierre, who has been having trouble getting published of late, until she uses Lolita to secure him an introduction to the young protégé's father.

    For the most part, "Look at Me" doesn't go for big flashy dramatic scenes but rather tells its story in a low-keyed way by having its characters interacting in traditionally continental social settings like restaurants, taxicabs and vacation homes in the country. Virtually all the characters suffer from some form of unhappiness or depression caused by their inability to create the lives they want. Lolita spends most of her time brooding over the fact that she can't get her father to acknowledge her existence, let alone support her in her endeavors. One of Lolita's biggest complaints is that people - and that includes boys - tend to befriend her solely as a means of "getting to" her famous father. Even her music teacher uses her for that purpose (though this is one time when Lolita seems unaware of it). So paranoid has Lolita become on this score that she even keeps at arm's length a young man who is obviously genuinely interested in having a relationship with her. The two authors, to varying degrees, have feelings of inadequacy and frustration brought on by either self-doubt about their talent or the fear that have begun to "dry up" as a writer.

    For the most part, this is a compelling tale about people who feed off one another and compromise their values to get what they want. Etienne is, in many ways, the most interesting character because he seems genuinely unaware of the callous way he treats others, but he is also the most frustrating in that some of his most boorish actions in regards to his daughter don't always ring totally true. For instance, it is highly unlikely that even he would get up and leave in the middle of his daughter's concert performance to take a stroll outside, then completely ignore her at a party he throws for her afterwards. Too often, we feel as if he is being mean and thoughtless more as a plot device than as a genuine reflection of his character. The film's other intriguing secondary character is Sylvia, the music teacher, who really seems to be the voice of conscience in the story.

    Despite that flaw, "Look at Me" succeeds more often than not at weaving a complex tapestry out of a variety of interesting and colorful characters. To that end, the film features fine ensemble work by Marilou Berry, Jean-Pierre Bacri and Agnes Jaoui, who also co-wrote and directed the movie.

    After half an hour of waiting for something interesting to happen, I decided I had more stimulating things to do with my life. All of my Amazon colleagues who thought this was wonderful are obviously living in some kind of parallel mirror reality. I have about 90 French films in my collection, which unfortunately also now includes this one. The most exciting French film I've seen in a while is Q. It will get your attention from the titles. No significant violence; sometimes beautiful cinematography. For something lighter, Priceless with Audrey Tatou.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated film making
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 6, 2010

    I agree totally with the comment about Agnes Jaoui being some sort of national treasure in France. Her "Les goutes des autres" is a masterpiece of film making and this effort shares it's mult-layered and clever construction but doesn't quite have the same degree of humour which made the other such a delight. This is probably due to the fact that the juxtaposition of industry and art allowed the opportunity for sharp observations between the relationship of both fields. Here, the theme is more about social skills or lack of them in the case of the film's best character! This effort concentrates upon two couples, the men both being writers, one already established and the other on the cusp of success. The wife of the latter is the music coach to the former's daughter and this is the thread that essentially binds all the characters together. Additional characters like agents, publishers and the daughter's would-be boyfriend all get woven into the tapestry and, after a slow start during which the foundations of the story are built up, Jauoi (who also acts in this film) allows the film to develop by allowing the character's with their conflicting interests to bounce off each other in wry fashion. Foe me, it is the sparkling dialogue which marks Jauoi's films as being so agreable.

    Essentially, the main thrust of the film concerns the daughter of the older author who is trying to establish herself as a singer and her father's spectular lack of interest despite her talent. The daughter, who is clearly within her rights to feel totally agrieved, is similarly insensative to her would-be suitor. Jean-Pierre Bacri is a mainstay of Jauoi's films (in real life they are partners) and, as opposed to the rather bumbling characters in "Les goutes" or "Let's talk about the rain" , plays in this film the selfish father with absolutely no empathy with his daughter. Whilst this is seemingly against character from other films I have seen him in, Bacri is the best thing in this film and much of the appeal in the whole effort comes from watching the insensitive manner with which he manages to blindly tread on everyone else's toes. No less comic than his other creations, his caustic remarks are amusing. However, all the characters are all nicely drawn and Jaoui's sharp eye for human behaviour ensures that there is much in this film to relish. Effectively, this film is an ensemble piece. The Graham Norton-esque TV interview to promote the new book by the "new generation author" and the book launch allow some cynical observations to reign which did make me smile.

    I feel the analogy with Woody Allen is extremely inaccurate as the humour is very subtle and the entertainment is reliant upon the sharp and perceptive dialogue as opposed to anything that will make you laugh out loud. If anything, the observations in this film are more akin to something like the BBC's "Outnumbered" but obviously raised to suit an audience that is expecting to be challenged a bit beyond the 30 minute mark. As with all her films, the construction of the storyline illustrates genuine skill and whilst this doesn't quite achieve the magnificance of "Les goutes.." I felt that this was more satisfactory than "Lets talk about the rain" where the lose ends of the ensemble cast were not allowed to join up in the satisfying fashion of her other films. If you enjoy gentle, well-observed and intelligent humour, this is definately worth checking out.
