I haven't enjoyed a comedy so much in a long time. The acting of Romain Duris (Moliere), Laura Morante (Madame Jourdain), Fabrice Luchini (Monsieur Jourdain), and Edouard Baer (Dorante) outweigh some of the unevenness of the script. Laura Morante gives a wonderful performance, combining sensuality, comedic charm, elegance, and tragicomedy. Romain Duris' portrayal of Moliere is delightful, ranging from slapstick comic to bereaved lover. The movie is a treat -- replete with humorous scenes, romantic intrigue, lovely scenery, and heartbreak. Strong 4 stars.
This is a very clever movie. It is a bit like Shakespeare in Love in that it shows Molière gathering materials for his future plays. Fans of Molière’s work will recognize many of his characters and lines. A delightful watch both of the story and the visuals. I highly recommend this movie.

bought this movie because Moliere is my favorite. I was not disappointed. Movie captures the essence of Moliere...not sure it would be appealing to someone who does not know his work
Delightful movie with beautiful scenery, costumes, and actors. A depiction of the French playwrite Moliere, showing how he might have found his true writing style. Very enjoyable.
