An exceptionally charming little French film, 3 January 2000
10/10
Author: Mark Wintle (mewintle@aol.com) from Denville, NJ, USA

Our protagonist, played by Miou-Miou, is a mischievous, whimsical and smart young woman who is looking for an occupation that will engage her. The adventures she has during her fantasies of what the job as a travelling reader would be, are charming little trips that we take with her. This is a smart and engaging little film. I dare you to not fall in love with her or this film.
