[Depardieu] is as emblematic of his country as Tom Hanks is of ours, and "My Afternoons With Margueritte" is his "Forrest Gump." Only better.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The happy ending lays it on too thick, but what the hell: In for a dime, in for a dollar.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
A predictable, undernourished love story.
Adam Bernstein, Washington Post

It's a lovely movie.
