Nigel Andrews Financial Times 03/07/2023
Will "True Love" triumph? The answer is not quite worth the wait, since the film becomes soggier and more sentimental as it grows older. But for Montand and Deneuve fans, at least, there is good value. Go to Full Review
Philip French Observer (UK) 03/07/2023
Rarely have so many unpleasant adults, self-regarding teenagers and cruel children been herded together, though there is little sign that Lang is aware that he is regaling us with a almost Swiftian misanthropy. Go to Full Review

09/23/2020 Fun nonsensical romp with great chemistry between Deneuve and Montand; amazing how well kept Deneuve can be on a deserted island; shout out to an occasionally French speaking Tony Roberts in a supporting role See more david f 11/20/2019 It's kind of a screwball 70s French comedy about a runaway bride who hides on an island with a perfume-maker who is also in hiding from his past. Hilarity ensues. Hilarity and Tony Roberts, oddly. See more 05/10/2016 A French "comedy"... oh well. See more 12/10/2015 Frantically overdone French comedy. See more 12/08/2011 Mostly likable comedy goes over-the-top but still makes for pleasant viewing despite silliness. The slapstick is often too much, and Deneuve isn't really suited for this type of comedy, though she certainly looks stunning and gives a capable performance. Montand fares better, and the chemistry between the two stars gives the film some playfulness. Most surprising is Tony Roberts in a supporting role as a nightclub owner whose painting-- was it a Renoir or a Toulouse-Lautrec (?) (I think it was the latter...)-- is stolen by Deneuve. See more 11/23/2008 Entertaining screwball comedy, French style. The plot is thin, the comedy over-the-top, but Deneuve and Montand are an absolute joy to watch. See more Read all reviews
