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 Broadly speaking, Not Here to Be Loved is a romantic comedy, though the romance is tortuous and the comedy tentative. Sep 26, 2017 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) 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. Rated: 4/5 Jun 8, 2007 Full Review Tom Dawson BBC.com Although the prevailing mood is melancholic, there's also a welcome vein of dry humour at work here Rated: 3/5 Jun 8, 2007 Full Review Anton Bitel Film4 The small scale of this melancholic romantic comedy is offset by its big themes. Bleak, well observed and dryly funny. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 8, 2007 Full Review Total Film This tale of unlikely love is an equally unlikely charmer. Rated: 3/5 Jun 8, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member a very slow movie bored to death. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An implausible love affair beautifully observed in this drily humorous and wistful film. Delightful acting from the lead character. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Great. It's like an old French movie with an picture tone and interval between lines. The tango plays an important role. Tasteful. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Deutscher Titel: Man muss mich nicht lieben Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
