An ambitious narrative gamble lies at the heart of this French-language drama from the director Cédric Klapisch.

3/5

Much like the process of psychotherapy itself, patience is required for results while watching this modestly entertaining slow-burn Parisian romance from Cédric Klapisch, who pulls off a neat trick by bumping the meet-cute to the end of the film.

This romantic drama/comedy of two lonely people who live so close, but never quite meet is as simple and sweet as it is clever and sad.

Klapisch's rejoinder depicts the tragic irony staring down today's young people: the world is at our fingertips, but genuine connection always feels just out of reach.

Through smartly placed cuts and clever conventions in the plot, we understand just how connected Rémy and Mélanie really are.

Good love story. Cross between “Love Story” and “Sleepless in Seattle”.

How refreshing it is to see an intelligent romantic comedy that entertains and enlightens while successfully breaking all the rules of the genre. The latest offering from French director Cedric Klapisch serves up a warm, funny, smartly written tale that presents fresh, realistic insights on romance without ever becoming schmaltzy or saccharinely sentimental. Leads Francois Civil and Ana Girardot turn in fine, exceedingly natural performances that are totally believable and never stretch credibility. And then there's the cinematography, which shows off the beauty of the French Alps and aspects of Paris probably never seen by outsiders. The film takes viewers on quite an emotional journey on its way to its climax, but the trip is well worth it, providing the basis for a joyful and satisfying conclusion. This is a truly terrific film -- don't miss it.

A total masterpiece. Not to be missed. Great acting and fantastic story. I saw it at the Lincoln Center French Film Festival. Moving, smart and utterly romantic. Prepare to gasp.
