Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter 03/11/2015
[It's] omewhat redeemed by an endearing turn from Belgian-born star Emilie Dequenne, who brings something extra to a film that seems to be deliberately playing with Gallic rom-com stereotypes, yet has a hard time going beyond them. Go to Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club 09/11/2014

07/29/2015 Che i film potessero far piangere, ridere, ridere e piangere, riflettere, angosciare, divertire, crescere lo sapevamo tutti. Che un film potesse suscitare le stesse emozioni di Parma Cesena 1 a 2 del 25 Gennaio 2015 l'ho scoperto stasera. See more 07/13/2015 suprising, pristine acting by Émilie Dequenne. See more 04/26/2015 Horrible. Boring actors, boring script, and awful end See more 11/19/2014 Fin abrute. Mais romantisme intelligent et différent. Un peu à la surface parfois tout de même intéressant dans ce genre de film d'avoir un philosophe qui cite du Kant comme personnage principal. See more 09/15/2014 Dans le genre ultra mauvais difficile de faire pire, jeu d'acteurs improbables, scenario ridicule, pas credible pour deux sous, dialogues a la limite du supportable, décors hideux, clichés permanents atroces, et bien entendu, une fin ultra mauvaise et comletement deplacee See more 09/02/2014 Too heavy for a comedy, too light for a drama. Although it doesn't have Frenchies' common strong La Nouvelle Vague smell, still looking flat & plain. See more Read all reviews
