	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A good old fashioned corset comedy with minimal laughs but a decent level of charm"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Surely no actor, French or not, does a caddish smile quite like Dujardin (...) Laurent is elegant and detached (...) There is an amusing frisson between the two of them (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Potton The Times	"It’s admirably silly, though, played with aplomb by a game cast, and it features some amusingly rococo lines (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	POS
