The Gilded Cage

"Offering a delightfully authentic alternative to the holiday box office blockbusters, this French comedy about the Portuguese population of Paris is a joy from start to finish."

"The film's success lies in its clever, funny script and beautifully judged performances."

"Alves has served up a loveably authentic romp, that manages to speak to a broad audience, while also echoing the experiences of millions of emigrés around the world."

"It's hard to fault the film's rousing shout out to hard-working migrant families, but the message gets muddled in the madness."

"A funny and clever immigrant dramedy that marks an auspicious debut for director Ruben Alves."
