      Steve G Absolutely loved this movie. Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is a marvelous actress in this movie and yes she is stunningly beautiful as well, her versatility as an actress really shows in this role. This movie will take you emotionally in many places, and many viewers will identify with the many stages of life this movie takes you. Beautiful scenes as well and the credit-theme/closing theme song is GREAT, wish I knew the name of it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/18/23 Full Review isla s This is a somewhat bittersweet film. I imagine that quite a number of people, perhaps some middle aged people, may be able to relate to whats depicted on screen - the various highs and lows of the relationship between Marion and Gilles. The performances are good and its, in general, a good film but I'm not sure I can say too much about it, other than its nice to see the relationship working its way backward as it were, with the chronology (in terms of the relationship) working backwards, so by the end of the film, we're witness to the start of it. Its a somewhat thoughtful and perhaps, in a way, nostalgic watch. I thought it was a good film, so I suppose I would recommend it yes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst movies I have ever watched. They were both miserable from start to finish. What is with the infidelity? I hear that is a very French thing? It was a complete turn-off in my opinion. Not true love. Not anything, just a sad sad story. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the real love, just a fear of not being with someone! ...... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member La photo est superbe, mais on apprend bien peu de choses du couple que l'on suit pendant 80 minutes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member no where near as engaging and profound as Scenes From a Marriage, though some scenes are worthy of merit. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Empire Magazine Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Even while we're flipping through the snapshots of two people's ultimate disenchantment with each other, it never feels tawdry or excessive or, for that matter, very interesting. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 18, 2005 Full Review Steve Murray Atlanta Journal-Constitution A cool, sometimes chilly dissection of one couple's relationship. Rated: B- Aug 18, 2005 Full Review Brandon Judell Huffington Post Once again Ozon proves he is a master. There are homosexual elements here, of course, as there are in almost all his features. Jun 14, 2018 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International The acting of both leads is good, at times more than that, but you feel that you've already seen every scene they're in, in countless other movies. Mar 1, 2007 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews It ends where the story begins at an Italian seaside resort as the couple happily swim off together into the sunset at their first encounter.
