A young writer (Anton Yelchin) begins an affair with an older woman (Bérénice Marlohe) from France whose open marriage to a diplomat (Lambert Wilson) dictates that they can meet only between the hours of 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Critics Consensus

5 to 7 too often settles for rom-com clichés, but they're offset by its charming stars, sensitive direction, and a deceptively smart screenplay.

Philippa Hawker

The Age (Australia)

The fairytale aura is nourished by outdated yet timeless notions of Frenchness and Americanness, grand romantic fantasies in themselves.

Rated: 3/5

Though in many ways conventional, [5 to 7] is nonetheless emotionally engaging.

The strong cast, a beautiful score, and a surprisingly affecting ending make it more convincing that it seems at first.

5 to 7 is a film that totally flew under the radar, but hopefully will gain the fans it deserve via streaming services. Gems like this one really need to be seen.

Rated: 3.5/5

Way Too Indie

5 to 7 will break your heart, mend it back together, make it sing, and then break it again. It's schmaltzy at times, the love scenes are shot too rigidly, and the concept isn't exactly novel, but Levin, a first-time director, makes a good impression.

Rated: 7.5/10

Seemingly 12 year-old Yelchin's Holden Caulfield vibe sabotages fine performances from the rest of the cast. It's dissonant to hear his monologues of life and what made him more of a man in a voice you expect to hear mention having chocolate milk after recess. It would be interesting to see this same premise made into a French film with a lead character capable of the sophistication and maturity required.

I have never written a review for a movie before, but this film was so incredibly bad that I just had to! The storyline is uninspired and farfetched as they tried to make it as though this was the greatest love story of the century - which it wasn't as the plot didn't support this at all. So it literally made no sense at all as they jump from casual sex to soul mates with nothing of substance in between. Don't get me started on the acting! Both leads were not convincing at all. This film was so bad that we continued watching it rather than switching off to mock it and just to see how much worse it could get.

Gli stereotipi e la forzature presenti nella trama sono ben nascosti da un'alchimia tra i protagonisti che funziona bene, i momenti di intimità son ben ricreati e per lo spettatore è facile creare empatia, soprattutto verso Anton Yelchin. Per arrivare al finale esce allo scoperto qualche piccola falla sulla trama, ma la purezza del rapporto ricreato rende il resto poco importante.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
