Droll, playful and colorful, but with such a fractured narrative that, at around the forty minute mark, there’s just nothing left to hold on to. Interest is kept for individual scenes (and fabulous outfits) but the rambling speeches about forthcoming primary elections for the fractured French left, while they certainly have their charm, are a drag. A.O. Scott nailed it when he called Made in U.S.A. a great B-side. Keith Uhlich’s review is definitely on the wavelength.
