Romance. Comedy Anne is at a crossroads in her life. Long married to a successful, driven but inattentive movie producer, she unexpectedly finds herself taking a car trip from Cannes to Paris with a business associate of her husband. What should be a seven-hour drive turns into a carefree two-day adventure replete with diversions involving picturesque sights, fine food and wine, humor, wisdom and romance, reawakening Anne's senses and giving her a new lust for life.

	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Slight but charming (...) This is not a film that pretends to want to go deeply into emotions, philosophy, realities of contemporary life (...) It’s an escape from real life"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[An] insufferable road movie (...) We’d expect more from the wife of Francis Ford Coppola. We’d expect more from anyone."	NEG
United States	Sam C. Mac Slant	"The film leaves the lasting impression of a story that takes place in its own elitist and hermetically sealed world (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"Eleanor Coppola takes viewers on an endless, tedious vacation (...) Coppola doesn’t seem any better with actors than she is with words"	NEG
United States	April Wolfe Village Voice	"A half-baked mess (...) Imagine 'The Trip' meets 'Lost in Translation' (...) but with stale dialogue and neither much romance nor comedy."	NEG
United Kingdom	Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"A soft, slim, albeit charming, tale, filled with food, flowers, and good wines (...) And good performances."	POS
