Critics' reviews

"Another aching heartbreaker of a film by Berri that absorbs and rewards the audience"

Gavin Bainbridge: Empire
"Berri is unable to overcome the inherent feebleness of the Manon character, here played ineffectually by the lovely and talented Emmanuelle Beart."

Variety Staff: Variety
"The acting, from that of the four major stars to the numerous supporting cast members, is without flaw. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"Auteil's Ugolin is so well drawn, it's a shame to see the role lost"

Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
"Though appealing in its wispy way, Manon is only a continental soap opera."

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
