    Writer-director Roman Coppola is trying to capture a time he's too young to remember, when the French New Wave reinvigorated film art. Read full review

    Variety | Todd McCarthy

    Roman Coppola's first film has sympathetic aims but is distressingly lacking in flair, style, wit or fun. Read full review
