Talented 20-year-old Lolita (Marilou Berry) dreams of a singing career. But her self-esteem is low due to her weight problem and her narcissistic father, Étienne (Jean-Pierre Bacri), a literary star with scant interest in his daughter's life. Lolita finds little comfort in the attentions of her vocal coach, suspecting the woman is using her to meet her influential father. Étienne's second wife proves to be Lolita's only trustworthy ally in her private battle to find a sense of worth.

Richard Nilsen Arizona Republic May 26, 2005
3.5/5

Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle May 21, 2005
3.5/5
Although little about the story seems surprising or spontaneous, the film's delights lie in its acute observation of the characters and their interactions. Go to Full Review
Anthony Lane The New Yorker May 21, 2005

"Look at Me" is a wholesome work of fully rounded dramaturgy that spins on a gyroscope of sustained emotional momentum. Go to Full Review

Kam Williams Princeton Town Topics Jun 20, 2007
3/4
Examines a variety of questions, such as superficiality versus substance, materialism versus self-worth, and taking advantage of others versus forming sincere relationships. Go to Full Review
