	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"This 1990 film by Patrice Leconte is funny, as warm as a hug, as fanciful as a dream. It is a fairy tale set in a real shop on a real street with real people (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Empire	"An honest, slyly funny, aching gem of a film with characters one imagines it would be great fun to get drunk with -high praise indeed. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Time Out	"While Leconte's study in erotic obsession is, like Monsieur Hire, hardly sophisticated in its sexual politics, that's not to deny its eccentric charm."	POS
