I wouldn't go so far as to say I don't like Tati, I just don't see what the big deal is. Again, like Playtime, I was left cold. M. Hulot's Holiday continues to be the only one of his I particularly liked, so far.

M. Hulot always reminded me of one of those Franco-Belgian comics. I like the style of the film and how satire is transported and defending a small life in villages against the modern world of the city.

After seeing it again I have to this... even though I don't want to... this movies has many flaws. Why haven't I seen this before ?? It still is a beautiful movie.

It's important movie that shows Tati knows the person is important not the wondering story which happens to them, but it's not a great comedy or a master!

I can't stand it.

"Though still a triumph of art direction, Mon Oncle's fuzzy sentiment and one-joke critique of modernity seem even more simplistic in English." - Christian Blauvelt

Charming, and the stuff in the house is funny (and the house itself is both a fantastic and monstrous piece of set design). When it moves out of the house to other locales (the village, the factory) I tended to find it less amusing.

Absolutely hilarious, love those subtle jokes. The sounds that he uses are terrific

Cute, funny, and has some quite subtle themes running throughout. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but once the largest comedic elements are in place it's a great ride to the finish.

A great visual comedy similar in style to Modern Times and Sleeper.

M. Hulot navigates an impractical geography of modern architecture and middle class consumerism, with visual flair recalling silent slapstick in the vein of Modern Times. Compared to Holiday, this is more in line with what I expected from Tati: social commentary wrapped in hard-edged compositions and wacky choreography.

I suppose it's charming, and some jokes are pretty funny (the factory scene was pretty funny) but most of the time I found myself going "this is funny I guess", but I didn't laugh. I'm sure some people will love this, but it's overly long and there were only a few sequences that were consistently funny. Most of it was filler. Score is not a grade.

Thematically reminiscent of Chaplin's Modern Times, Mon Oncle has a meticulous visual aesthetic and features adorable dogs and several really funny or sometimes just spectacularly offbeat scenes. However, it should have been edited down by at least one third; the first half especially suffers from too much dead time and repetitiousness. The tedium factor cripples it severely. At least it retains an elegant, atmospheric flow throughout.
