All Critics (46) | Top Critics (11)

Realism keeps this story grounded, even when its characters give soaring voice to their deepest hopes and frustrations.

These characters are fixed. They have no arc. And Garrel seems to prefer them learning no lessons from the experience.

Lover for a Day just wasn't enough of a grabber pour moi.

Top Critic

Despite its neo-new-wave style, Lover for a Day is neither offhand nor autobiographical.

Audience Reviews for Lover For A Day (L'amant d'un jour)

Even though it is interesting and even engaging, it feels almost impossible not to leave this film with the impression that a lot was told but little was actually said in the end, with everything being mostly inconsequential and not really probing anywhere beneath the surface.
