Leave your thoughts about Claire's Knee.
| Cleveland PressTony MastroianniRohmer somehow makes it work. He creates a feeling for his people, makes their seemingly silly conversations dramatic. His is a movie completely concerned with nuances. |
| Looking CloserJeffrey OverstreetThe question at the center of this almost Shakespearean comedy is this: Why is it better to listen to our conscience in matters of love, rather than listen to our wayward, faithless heart? |
| New York TimesVincent CanbyComes very close to being a perfect movie of its kind. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher NullSomewhere between insulting and repulsive, Claire's Knee purports to be about love but comes across as little more than infantile. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA charming French film about the tug-of-war between a man's structured beliefs and his desires. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestThere isn't much plot, just a lot of humanity and intelligence. |
