Metacritic reviews

Fonteyne edges closer than most to capturing the mysterious rhythms of liaisons -- pornographique, romantique, and otherwise.

By boiling the characters down to the most basic emotions and eliminating lifestyle-specific idiosyncrasies, we can enter the world of the story with ease.

A passionate, heart-wrenching film that is a must-see for any romantic.

An extraordinarily perfect little film: A bittersweet drama that explores sexuality and love, and their reverberations across the landscape of human emotions.

It is about the desiring itself, not about what they desire. That makes it more intriguing than if we knew their secret--and sexier.

This wee, discreet little movie has a certain rueful intelligence about the ways we rather carelessly talk ourselves into love--and out of it as well.

Has the rare distinction of being slight and tragic at the same time.

A film as romantic as its title.

A bit of a cop-out, wrapping in wistful sentimentality a failure to acknowledge a connection that is more than epidermal.

Clearly, this is an affair to forget.
