Movie #935 "Look at Me" is billed as a comedy, but I didn't laugh once, I don't think. I must admit I tried watching this movie on three different evenings, and couldn't not get through it the first two. Then, I sat down and made myself watch it the third time. It was way too slow for me, and I didn't see a lot that I hadn't seen before in other, better films. So I would not recommend this. The daughter is whiney, a little overweight, but think everyone hates her because she's "fat" --- and thinks if people are nice to her it's because her father is a famous writer. She has an okay operatic voice, but little confidence to make it in music, but doesn't seem to have a back up. I DID like the teacher, but her story seemed to end up in the air. Really, I don't need to go on about this film because I don't think any of you out there, reading my blog, would like it. So I'll just let it be. You don't need to see this downer.

This unusual comedy catches its characters at various moments of loneliness, identity crisis and despair. Marilou Berry plays Lolita Cassard, a young woman disgusted with the world's seeming inability to accept beauty in all forms. Her neglectful father, Etienne Cassard (Jean-Pierre Bacri), wants so badly to have someone to love, and when they meet up with the equally lost Sylvia (Agnès Jaoui) and Pierre (Laurent Grévill), all hell breaks loose.
