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.

4/5

This is an unromanticised look at a sometimes irritating but pleasantly realistic woman.

3/5

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.

Demoustier so supercharges her performance with charisma, she almost seems to sparkle.

Anaïs Demoustier charms as a big ball of energy in Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet’s fleeting but enjoyable Anaïs in Love.

B+

Although humanly flawed and some decisions aren’t meant to be applauded (yet understandable), Demoustier makes the character charming, tangible, and alluring.

4/5

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.

Getting really tired of this version of the manic pixie dream girl and am genuinely bewildered some people love it.

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.

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.
