Top CriticA fitting close to the series.

Top CriticI suppose the ultimate point is whether or not Frédéric gives in, but the ride itself is quite fascinating.

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

Top Critic
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.

Top CriticAt least as moral quandaries go, Love has one worth pondering. And if you feel otherwise, you can at least groove on the 1970s fashions.

[Rohmer is a] cerebral French master.
03/10/03
There exists in Chloe's characters a rare sort of self-reflection, and it's immensely gratifying to watch in action.
01/16/03
It's a noteworthy portrait of love, desire and happiness.
11/07/02
An elegant and moral study of yearning in the life of a married man who's attracted another woman.
03/13/02
One of [Rohmer's] best.
02/28/02
In the couple's eventual rapprochement, Rohmer argues persuasively for a love illuminated by reason, a sexuality enhanced by self-awareness.
