	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"Breezy and bright, with the stylized look and feel of a stage play, Honore’s bubbly bottle of cinematic champagne runs out of fizz somewhere around its midway point."	NEU
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"It may not be for all tastes but casts a warming glow that should attract incurable romantics, nostalgic cinefiles and fans of writer/director Christophe Honoré (...) A film as charming as it is touching"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"At 90 minutes, the film feels endless (...) and that the film has holes in its fantasy logic you could drive a truck through"	NEG
	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"A conceptual tale that’s reflexive, inventive, fast-paced and funny (...) The film proves to be a brilliant lesson in style, which is its strength"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Honoré tends to be a more grounded and engaging filmmaker when he’s mired in fantasy, and his chatty new movie loses its spark whenever it stops to explain itself"	NEU
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"Ultimately, all the talk gets wearing (...) Mastroianni’s promisingly unrepentant performance suffers (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
