This documentary is really just a spoken reflection from Leslie Caron on her career and life (her son offers a couple of brief interludes). It is interesting to get her perspective on some of her high profile films. There's also a small trace of egoism in some of her remarks (e.g. She seems to believe that she could have played the role of Bonnie in "Bonnie and Clyde"!). It makes her more interestingly human. In the end, the documentary feels a bit shallow as it skips over long stretches of her life and seems more focused on the beginnings of and current status of her career. However, Caron comes across as a charming and warm-natured woman who doesn't seem to be that reluctant to be a star. And that's okay. As long as she lives, Caron will shine brightly.
