Populaire Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
It's neatly formatted, but if there's a message in the margins of this manuscript, "Populaire" doesn't spell it out.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
As romantic comedy it's uneven, but as an ode to something long gone, "Populaire" hits the right notes.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Even when there's tragedy around the turn, it doesn't matter. Populaire plays like a musical - you expect anyone, at any time, to break into song.
Chicago Sun-Times
Bruce Ingram
[Populaire] does run through the expected paces with admirable style, with a glossy, Technicolor production design that sometimes makes it seem it might have been made in the '50s, not just set there.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Roinsard, who wrote his feature debut with Daniel Presley and Romain Compingt, is unabashedly in love with cheesy, cornball sentiment, which he dusts off and polishes to a fair-thee-well.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Is this remake really necessary? Maybe not, but to worry about that is to risk missing out on a lot of fun.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Roinsard labors mightily to eke laughs and excitement out of '50s secretaries in Technicolor dresses, towering heels, and awkward hairdos hammering away at keyboards, with limited success.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
[A] sweet but slight homage to the 50s and 60s.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
"Populaire" is catnip for a certain breed of twee Francophile.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
Deft execution by Roinsard and his appealing cast make the film a solid, genially retro entertainment.
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
A genial, knowing throwback-a reminder of that stylish, half-imaginary era that thrived in Hollywood before Mad Men came along and pickled it in gin.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
The fabulous retro look and joie de vivre of this French lark are so infectious, it's easy to forgive its fatal flaw: Watching someone type is just not that interesting.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Populaire" tells the kind of transcendentally silly fairy tale that has long been a French cinematic specialty.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
While Populaire would still have suffered from being overlong and overfamiliar, a smoother leading man could have done much to boost the intended Cary Grant vibe.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The less seriously the genial French comedy "Populaire" takes itself, the more amusing it is. Fortunately, with small exceptions, this film doesn't take itself very seriously at all.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
When things change to a rom-com template, things get slightly more rote, but in everything from film stock to (slightly overactive) score, "Populaire" is a nice shift to another time.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Only those unversed in frothy, Weinstein-approved confections will wonder where Populaire is headed.
Village Voice
Jon Frosch
Roinsard's feature-length debut is visually sharp, with period design that's eye-catching without being fussy or fetishistic. Too bad there's not much going on beneath the surface.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
A colorful and impeccably styled romantic comedy that manages to turn the speed-typing competitions of the 1950s into entertaining cinematic fodder.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Regis Roinsard's impressive debut is a love letter to 50s filmmaking, but one that lacks a real heart.
