A misfit Parisian woman (Anaïs Demoustier) tries to find the right job for her temperament and talents as well as the right lover.

Andrew Pulver

Guardian

Czajka's film has some interesting points to make about money-earning - in both the white and black economies - but it's a tad lightweight compared to Laurent Cantet's Human Resources, which dealt with not-dissimilar themes.

Rated: 3/5

Julie's thrillseeking is occasionally contrived, but Demoustier is one to watch.

Rated: 3/5

In the face of unlikely love, maturity, and a society that preaches conformity, there are some willing to fight...

The Ooh Tray

Living on Love Alone is ... a useful snapshot of a time when society has put its lowest ever premium on skill and imagination and the generation that's being betrayed as a consequence.

The director has written an unpretentious, straightforward script for a cast up for anything, whether in or out of the sack.

Rated: 3/4

Total Film

Heeding Jean-Luc Godard's maxim that all you need to make a movie is a "girl and a gun", Isabelle Czajka's freewheeling feature is built around a captivating turn from French rising star Anas Demoustier.

Rated: 4/5

mouais... le couple Demoustier/Marmai fonctionne à merveille, mais le pitch reste assez malmené...l'histoire reste trop en surface pas assez aboutie...

French Cinema's typical self-possessed style. So plain, nothing much really new nor interesting.

Simply superb. See this if you can at the cinema. A delightful film. (the only downside is stepping out of the cinema into the chill of winter after an hour or so of gorgeous sun drenched summer)

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
