Critic Reviews

75 New York Post
The awkwardness and drama of finding and losing love has rarely been portrayed so gracefully on screen in recent years.
70 The New York Times
Artfully treading a fine line between operatic tragedy and romantic comedy.
50 Village Voice
The admirable Gainsbourg refrains from overacting, but her leading men never quite transcend the emptiness and inanity of their characters' dilemma.
