Criticism
Said The lexicon of the International film: "The film solves the drama in a fast-paced, supported by nuanced aufspielenden cast comedy, although in the distribution of gender roles remains extremely conservative, but by the careful staging still maintains good. "
The Film Review Board gave the film the title " particularly valuable" and said: " The result is a delightfully light-hearted romantic comedy with an enchanting Audrey Tautou in the lead role. Very sensitive the romance between Nathalie and Markus is told, who considers himself with irony and by his humble and humorous way for gaining little by little the heart Nathalie. The ideas are original, the visual language is poetic and above all is a soundtrack full of touching songs. A modern and wonderfully French cinema fairy tale about love, which is good for surprises again and again. "
