I am biased towards French movies; I like listening to the spoken French. Even without considering the language, Look at Me is worth watching. Directed by Agnès Jaoui, it examines the dysfunctional relationships in the life of an egotistical celebrity and his needy daughter, Lolita.
The acting is uniformly good and believable. The only part of the plot that is hard to swallow is Lolita's sudden transformation at the end. It's just a little too hopeful, given all the emotional baggage that she's been toting around for her entire life. Jean-Pierre Bacri is a solid actor and does an excellent job playing the insensitive father.
Thumbs up!
