Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Devos manages to keep it afloat in the second half as the actress peels away for her own adventure and writer-director Jerome Bonnell develops a subplot that will force the lovers to part for good.

rotten:
"Just a Sigh" lives up to its name. It disappears without a trace.

fresh:
"Just a Sigh" charms, with its scenes of street musicians, philosophical debates and headstrong romance, as much as it poses dilemmas of fate and desire.

fresh:
A bracingly romantic drama that's alive with a mature sense of passion and mystery.

fresh:
You may complain that "Just a Sigh" is too episodic to cohere and that Alix's eccentricities are plot mechanisms. But to me, this fateful day-in-the-life feels believable.
