Reviews for The Girl From Monaco
The chemistry between each pairing of the three principals is surprisingly potent and that's what makes this film work.

This is only Louise Bourgoin’s first film, but as Audrey, a weather reporter and force of nature herself, she’s landed a role of unusual charm and complexity.
