Leave your thoughts about Russian Dolls.
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasIf you can't afford to make that big European vacation this summer, "Russian Dolls" provides both the locations and some amusing company for the journey. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonIt's an effortlessly charming ensemble, and Klapisch's characters (most of them anyway) reveal depths of feeling that compensate for the film's lightweight tone and too-long running time. |

| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy Klein...tired subject matter, regurgitated with very little originality or charm. |
