Editorial Reviews
"...What is fascinating about RIDICULE is that so much depends on language, and so little is really said..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (12/06/1996)

4 stars out of 5 -- "RIDICULE thrives on slippery language, delivered precisely....It's a tale of dirty water and dirtier wit."
Total Film - Kevin Harley (03/01/2007)

"A masterclass in costume drama....[A] sumptuous and sensual tale of an idealistic young aristocrat's battle of wits at the court of Louis XVI..."
Sight and Sound - Kate Stables (03/01/2007)

"RIDICULE is a spirited period romp with a justly celebrated opening....Charles Berling excels as the provincial nobleman..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (09/01/2008)
