Look at Me

About This Movie

Look at Me, directed by Agnès Jaoui, is a subtle exploration of self-worth wrapped in a darkly comedic tone. You really feel for Lolita, played with such nuance, as she navigates her father Étienne's aloofness and her own insecurities. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection that pull you into her world. Jaoui's writing has this sharpness, a mix of humor and pathos that feels very authentic. The performances are all solid, but it’s the family dynamics and the undercurrents of vanity that keep it engaging. There’s something refreshing about its approach to weight and self-image, making it distinct in the coming-of-age genre. A film that stays with you for its raw honesty.

Released in France as 'Comme une image'. · Features a strong ensemble cast including Jaoui herself. · Won the Best Screenplay award at Cannes 2004. · Filmed in various Paris locations, capturing a real urban feel.
