    Fonteyne edges closer than most to capturing the mysterious rhythms of liaisons -- pornographique, romantique, and otherwise.

    This wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well.

    Ultimately too slight and opaque to inspire much ardor.

    Clearly, this is an affair to forget.

    Loved it. The French do this sort of movie very well indeed, surprising, tender, engaging and slightly sad. At the end I didn't know whether I wanted them to be together or separate. Don't know the actors or the director but it was masterfully and carefully crafted. Thank you… Expand

    Tries to clean up its act, but just isn't engaging.
