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

In the couple's eventual rapprochement, Rohmer argues persuasively for a love illuminated by reason, a sexuality enhanced by self-awareness.

a beautiful character study about what it is to love one woman and yet be in love with all women

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

There exists in Chloe's characters a rare sort of self-reflection, and it's immensely gratifying to watch in action.

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 CriticJust 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.
