Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Breillat's first foray into comedy is playful, whip-smart and far breezier in both tone and look than the stylized gender polemics she's known for.
Fresh: Sex Is Comedy offers us a window into the way Breillat works.
Rotten: Curious but small and lackluster film.
Fresh: A rigorous and bracingly charming movie about moviemaking.
