Shall We Kiss? gives us storytelling as art. Emmanuel Mouret's romantic drama, in French with English subtitles, is expert, intricate, ineffably droll, ultimately provocative and entirely enchanting.
By Joe Morgenstern FULL REVIEW

Witty, insightful portraits of hyperverbal, self-conscious young people falling in and out of love.
By Scott Foundas FULL REVIEW
75
An engaging romantic comedy that's deeper, smarter and more pessimistic than it appears at first glance, a film with shrewd insight into the mysteries of human attraction.
By Mick LaSalle FULL REVIEW

Mouret not only stars (opposite a delicate Ledoyen) as the slightly schlemiely fellow in want of a woman's affection, he also wrote and directed this enticing, weightless divertissement.
By Lisa Schwarzbaum FULL REVIEW

The result is that Shall We Kiss? puts its viewers in a bind worthy of the lovers themselves: should we organize a Socratic symposium on the issues raised by the film, or hurl our popcorn violently at the screen?
By Anthony Lane FULL REVIEW

It is as if the director had studied the comedies of Eric Rohmer and Woody Allen from top to bottom and come away with all the wrong lessons.
FULL REVIEW
50
Bogs down in the philosophical shallow end and never quite recovers from what's clearly meant to be a deceptively light tone.
