| New York TimesCaryn JamesThe deep lure of his work is the suggestion that it is possible to be as articulate or as witty or even as extravagantly morose as a Rohmer character, to stumble across those undramatic moments of perfect grace on some beach or in some meadow. |
| Slant MagazineJaime N. ChristleyFour Adventures uses a country-mouse-and-city-mouse template to explore the morality, aesthetic sense, urban and rural savvy, and a host of other concerns. |
| Time OutDavid FearYou're reminded how much Rohmer valued the sound of others' voices above all, and why going out on a whimper occasionally works wonders. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatDirector Eric Rohmer does a remarkable job revealing the different values of two young women from divergent worlds. |
| User ReviewAlan KLight as "Rendez-vous in Paris" but with a deeper (and always honest) eye on day-by-day life. |
| User ReviewMarat PEngagingly sweet snack from Eric Rohmer about two young women --- one from the French countryside and one, a native of Paris. They meet, become friends, and then become roommates in Paris. Like much of Rohmer's work, there isn't much of a plot her, and little in the way of epiphany or climax. This is about hanging out with these two women as they go through the ups and downs of daily life. There's a mild tone of humor, but you don't watch this for laughs. It's, well, as I said, like hanging out with them for a few days. |
