I heard a lot of nice things about this little film : good surprise, funny comedy... Well I'd gave it a 6, not more. The acting is very good, that's maybe the best point. The storyline contains some good ideas, but the whole thing seemed to me a little weak, even a little boring : every detail is shown ten times for who didn't watch well, it's not far from the telletubbies tv show. I'd advise best a 1993 very funny (but also poetic) movie called "Not Everybody's Lucky Enough to Have Communist Parents" that has a similar character : the mother, who puts her politic engagement upper than anything.
