Editorial Reviews

[NON-U.S. FORMAT (PAL) Region 2 U.K. Import. This will not play on U.S./Canada DVD players or those from most other countries outside of Europe. You would need a "multi-region" or "region-free" PAL compatible DVD player or computer.] A deliciously dark, black comedy masterpiece from the director of TANGUY. When Auntie Danielle (Tsilla Chelton) moves in with her great nephew, after driving her own housekeeper to an early grave, he and his wife hope that she will be the grandmother the children never had. However, it doesn't take long for the manipulative and malicious old lady to make everyone's life a misery. But when the family go on holiday without her, leaving her in the care of bitter Sandrine (Isabelle Nanty), Auntie Danielle realises she's met her mischievous match! Nominated for three Cesar awards in France.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deserves an American Release, July 29, 2006

This review is from: Tatie Danielle [NON-U.S.A. FORMAT: PAL Region 2 U.K. Import] (Original British Version) (DVD)

"Tatie Danielle" is a wickedly funny dark comedy. Tatie Danielle pretends to be a needy geriatric, yet she upends the lives of well-meaning family members through her misanthropic plots. Not someone I'd necessarily want to know, Tatie Danielle is a hoot to watch as she wreaks havoc on every Good Samaritan in her path. Wish this were available on DVD for American audiences -- it's always hilarious no matter how many times I watch this.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU MUST SEE THIS FILM!, September 26, 2006

This review is from: Tatie Danielle [NON-U.S.A. FORMAT: PAL Region 2 U.K. Import] (Original British Version) (DVD)

From the very beginning you know this film is different. Granted, you don't know whether you should hate her or love her, Tatie Danielle will eventually become one of your favorite women of French Cinema. Yes, I may not know all that is said, considering the # of times I've seen this film - but yet I understand the character. You will laugh until you cry and, at the same time, sympathize with her - in spite of how cruel she may be to people around her. My only disappointment was that it had to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's finally available!, November 30, 2010

At last! I saw this movie twenty years ago and have been periodically searching Netflix for it. When you were able to suggest movies to Netflix I wrote them and begged that they get it but it was not available on dvd. I just decided to check today, it's still not available on Netlix, but when I googled it I was so happy to discover that it's on dvd and available to purchase. I don't want to give away the movie but it's a wonderfully dark comedy.
