Anaïs in Love

What to Know

Critics Consensus

The main character may be hard to like, but Anaïs in Love offers a well-acted and breezily humorous take on its admittedly well-worn themes.

Tom Shone Times (UK) It may be hard to care about this egotist’s love life, but the film’s civilised, breezy manner and its sunny rural locations (recalling Eric Rohmer movies) are easy to like. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Demoustier so supercharges her performance with charisma, she almost seems to sparkle. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) ... Achingly unoriginal. Rated: 1/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Anaïs Demoustier charms as a big ball of energy in Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet’s fleeting but enjoyable Anaïs in Love. Rated: 3/5 Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Although humanly flawed and some decisions aren’t meant to be applauded (yet understandable), Demoustier makes the character charming, tangible, and alluring. Rated: B+ Jul 21, 2023 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Refusing to judge and dotting the action with highbrow allusions, Bourgeois-Tacquet frees the camera to keep up with Demoustier,whose tour de force display touches on screwball brilliance.

Carmem C To appreciate, and delight yourself in this gem of a film, you will need to suspend all you think you know about French cinema. This movie is an absolute joy to watch from beginning to end. The contrast of the quiet, pensive, Emilie with the absolutely firecracker that is Anais is what makes this film such a joy. This film tells a tale, and as a reward you also get to see it. This is now my second favorite film of all times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/23 Full Review Yury S If you run all the time, you're going to have beautiful legs. Legs and dresses are nice, but other than that I see no reason anyone would be attracted to this annoying creature for longer than 5 minutes. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review creative u LOVED this movie didn't expect it to take the turn that it did, based on the pictures posted on here. Good thing I trust certain critics to know what to watch and what to avoid. The film was really well made Anaïs Demoustier and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi shine through, it's a great thing it was directed by a woman, which you can kind of tell. One thing I did noticed though was the amount of things Anaïs gets away with, I couldn't help but wonder if the fact that she's skinny, white and feminine helped her get out of tricky situations that she created. I wonder if the character would've been portrayed by a woman of color would she have gotten away with half the things Anaïs did? Would it have been realistic? Well one can only wonder and honestly that's part of the main's character charm, she is -like many have pointed out- the manic pixie dream girl only this time the audience is seeing everything from her POV . Regardless I really loved this movie I expect it to be included in some 'best of lists' in the following years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review matthew r If you like French romance, this is prolly for you. Not my thing, but a well made film nonetheless. Enjoy! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I have known and loved women like Anais. Exasperating, unpredictable, charming, annoying, exhilarating, passionate... I loved the build up to the seduction of Emilie, and its manifestation. Very passionate, erotic, sensual.... I liked that the two beautiful women were not super young, and the age-gap romance has always be something that appealed to me - both as a young woman, and now as an older one. Beautiful film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The best France-made movie ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
