Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
What makes Rohmer's films so sparkling and intelligent is the way in which he watches his characters. Nothing escapes him, and he uses the angle of a glance, the tilt of a head, the precise set of a mouth, in order to create wonderfully complex characters
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
Just because Mr. Rohmer keeps his focus short, clear and precise, one sees deeply into the lives of his characters without the sort of pretentious distortions of most movies that deal in metapsors.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
In the couple's eventual rapprochement, Rohmer argues persuasively for a love illuminated by reason, a sexuality enhanced by self-awareness.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
A wonderfully cool and lucid exposition of the twists and turns of its hero's thoughts.
