	Media	Author	Review
		Anna Smith Empire	"Light of touch but overlong, this is saved by a sparkling performance from Romain Duris (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		A. O. Scott The New York Times	"[It] is both literal-minded and sentimental. Less forgivably, the movie is dull. It comes to life intermittently"
		Lisa Nesselson Variety	"Romance, creativity, subterfuge and repartee are among the pleasures to be had in 'Moliere,' a consistently diverting, bittersweet costumer"
		Stella Papamichael BBC	"This is a sprightly romp, and Romain Duris drips with goofy Gallic charm (...) Above all, this is a very silly film (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Scott Tobias AV Club	"Loaded with lighthearted schemes and farcical elements, 'Molière' mostly succeeds in honoring the playwright through imitation"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"You need a very sweet tooth for this kind of thing (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
