I really enjoyed the french film L'auberge espagnole which I saw a few months ago. It was fresh, had great young upcoming european actors in it and had a nice cohesive aura about it. Les poupées russe takes off 5 years after L'auberge espagnole left off. Does it work? Yes. maybe not as fresh as the first film, the author still manages to grab our curiosity from the start of the flick. These are characters that we quickly rediscover and care for. What doesnèt work in the film is the fact that we concentrate on one storyline and skirt around a bunch of other ones which could have been as interesting as the main one. The first film was able to tell 4 or 5 stolylines by intertwining them together in a cohesive fashion. Can't say that the film didn't work though. It was quite enjoyable with nice editing visual effects. A nice 7 Tatou out of 10.
