this pleasant yet forgettable film, "Mama Weed" is intended to wash over you, leaving good vibes in its wake, but it doesn’t challenge Isabelle Huppert or the audience
the French legend's star power threads together tones of wit, danger and political substance; as "Mama Weed" makes deliciously apparent, where its iconic star goes, we will gladly follow
in a beguiling crime comedy, "Mama Weed," Isabelle Huppert is fascinating; It's a terrific performance in a film that swings gracefully between drama and kinetic farce
cleverly conceived and amusingly performed; Salome's portrait of a middle-aged woman trying to make ends meet on her own, and selling hundreds of kilos of narcotics to do so, proves to be a tender study of emancipation with few regrets
a lively and engaging caper that's helmed with a light touch, as well as a keen awareness of the material's deeper moments; due to Huppert, the movie never flounders even when its script does cycle through more than a few predictable crime film cliches
a dry sense of humour livens up this French crime comedy, which hones in on its lively characters rather than the details the thriller plot. Based on a novel, it's packed with entertainingly offbeat details and surprising wrinkles
