Weary and seemingly humorless Jean-Claude Delsart is tired of his cheerless profession that consists of delivering the paperwork that precedes evictions, property seizures and the like.

Victoria Segal New Statesman 09/26/2017
Broadly speaking, Not Here to Be Loved is a romantic comedy, though the romance is tortuous and the comedy tentative. Go to Full Review
Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 06/08/2007
4/5
The only film worth seeing this week is Not Here To Be Loved, a modest French comedy that has more expressive subtlety and romance in it than Soderbergh and co will ever manage, even unto Ocean's Umpteen. Go to Full Review

3/5
Although the prevailing mood is melancholic, there's also a welcome vein of dry humour at work here Go to Full Review

3.5/5
The small scale of this melancholic romantic comedy is offset by its big themes. Bleak, well observed and dryly funny. Go to Full Review

02/27/2013 Streaked with melancholia and dark humour, this unsentimental drama about characters finding things missing in their lives and trying to change benefits from low-key performances and dialogue that feels real. The story itself is fairly straightforward and the direction unfussy; it's the sadness that stays with you afterward. See more 01/09/2013 Very slow. but kind of sweet. old man. young woman. Tango. the star for the music. For the rest, kind of .... dull. Many critics find it .... excellent. not sure why. See more 11/14/2012 a very slow movie bored to death. See more 08/09/2012 An implausible love affair beautifully observed in this drily humorous and wistful film. Delightful acting from the lead character. See more 04/09/2012 Great. It's like an old French movie with an picture tone and interval between lines. The tango plays an important role. Tasteful.
