Devos manages to keep it afloat in the second half as the actress peels away for her own adventure and writer-director Jérôme Bonnell develops a subplot that will force the lovers to part for good. Go to Full Review Stephanie Merry Washington Post 05/01/2014

"Just a Sigh" lives up to its name. It disappears without a trace. Go to Full Review Marci Schmitt Minneapolis Star Tribune 03/31/2014
3.5/4
"Just a Sigh" charms, with its scenes of street musicians, philosophical debates and headstrong romance, as much as it poses dilemmas of fate and desire. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/29/2019
3/5
Bonnell's latest is a surprisingly effective two-hander, conveying an unprecedented emotional depth about passion, the performance of it, and how life has a surprising way of reminding us how to feel alive. Go to Full Review Morgan Rojas Cinemacy 03/01/2019
Ultimately, Just a Sigh is a mediocre, "day-in-the-life" film that would have made an incredible short, as one gets the sense that this is far too stretched out to qualify as a solid feature-length film. Go to Full Review John Fink The Film Stage 06/21/2016

A complex experience, the pleasure of Just a Sigh exists mostly in its visuals, tonal shifts and performances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/31/2014 Slow moving but I really like these actors. I wouldn't recommend it. See more 03/09/2014 Devos is quite good, but there's not much else to like in this slow-paced, inconsequential film. See more 02/05/2014 OK, so I don't really know how good this movie is. Very early on I thought, "this would play VERY differently if the gender of the characters was reversed." So I watched two movies simultaneously and it was fascinating experiencing the audiences response to one movie while imagining their very different response to the other. Watched that way, it's wonderful. See more 04/28/2013 Un fil ténu tient le film, et pourtant la tension est là. Les 2 acteurs principaux sont superbes, tout en finesse. De l'humour aussi. See more 04/13/2013 On y croit vraiment à la fin...un peu moins au début. Très belle Emmanuelle Devos en tout cas. See more 04/10/2013 Les loufoques parties comédie, avec d'excellents seconds rôles, sont très réussies mais la romance entre les deux personnages principaux, qui constitue la trame du film, m'a laissé de marbre, avec un Gabriel Byrne fadasse. Par contre Emmanuelle Devos est géniale. See more Read all reviews
