Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Mila (Serreau) lives in a leafy utopia in another neck of the galaxy but, with her part Earth ancestry, has a hankering to look the old place over. She's dismayed to find inedible food, unbreathable air, noise and a bad idea called money. With her superior mental powers, though, she easily copes with bad tempered motorists, heartless social workers and the like, brainwashing them until they can appreciate the beauty in a lettuce leaf. The film offers acrobats, kittens, an orphan Serbian baby and an unwittingly offputting account of the Green Party line.Author: BBa

judging from the review 'time out' has not grasped the simplicity of the film's philosophy. I suggest you give up writing reviews.
What a pity.
But i guess running a magazine that simply lists a musical timetable does not qualify it to judge with vision.
I think whoever wrote the critique is either a total pessimist or has just simply given up hope.
It couldn't possibly be because he/she believes in the existing system which allows wars and greed.
Surely. - Report as inappropriate
