	Media	Author	Review
		Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"It’s an initiatory journey set to the tune of a romantic comedy and against vast, magnificent landscapes, but it’s also a hilarious "buddy movie" which unites a woman and a donkey"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Calamy really grounds the movie with her funny, generous performance (...) Antoinette's affair slips into insignificance quite quickly (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Vignal’s comic tale of self-discovery is as light and gentle as the rolling terrain that it travels"
		Beatrice Loayza The New York Times	"[It] has more in common with 'Legally Blonde' than it does with something like 'Wild,' though its bright, beautifully craggy scenery and meandering rhythm creates an overall more chilled-out tone"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"Without a single arthouse touch, this ultimately charming trifle could well be an American rom-com were it not quite so, well, promiscuous (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"'My Donkey, My Lover & I' is a bit like a French version of Reese Witherspoon’s 'Wild,' just far more chic and fashionable, and with a lot more wine and sex."
		Dave White The Wrap	"French lovelorn-summer-holiday genre gets a braying boost"
		Jordan Raup The Film Stage	"'My Donkey, My Lover & I' is a sun-kissed, transportive charmer that doesn’t bring much new to the table yet never hits a snag. In other words: the ideal summer watch"
		Jenny Nulf Austin Chronicle	"A charming adventure that doesn’t aim to be anything more than a lovely romp (...) My Donkey, My Lover & I isn’t going to break the mold, but it’s an easy stride of a film that’s bubbling with joy (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
