Leave your thoughts about Not Here to Be Loved.
| New StatesmanVictoria SegalBroadly speaking, Not Here to Be Loved is a romantic comedy, though the romance is tortuous and the comedy tentative. |
| Film4Anton BitelThe small scale of this melancholic romantic comedy is offset by its big themes. Bleak, well observed and dryly funny. |
| BBC.comTom DawsonAlthough the prevailing mood is melancholic, there's also a welcome vein of dry humour at work here |
| Time OutWally HammondA very impressive debut and one of the best French films of the year. |
| Empire MagazineHelen O'HaraCross-generational borderline friendships are all the rage this Winter, but Venus this ain't. |
| User ReviewTsukasa AI watch very few foreign films. But this one just grabbed my attention because of the story. Middle-aged man with dull job and a crabby father in a nursing home lives across from a dance studio. After a physical his doctor recommends some exercise and the guy joins a tango-class for beginners. There he meets a young woman. I just flipped over this movie. I remember him as so quiet, polite and proper. Tired. She's not his opposite(as you might believe), but rather normal, with a selfish boyfriend. And when they dance... Holy s**t! Forget Dirty Dancing, that was just crude and obvious compared to this. Now this... this is seriously hot. I even forgot they spoke french after ten minutes. This is a movie for all of you who like tiny love stories without all the clichés. I think my love for this movie might have something to do with my obsession for Commissioner Gordon in the Dark Knight, but I'm not gonna explore that further. I just know it clicked with me, all the way. I even wanted to learn how to tango! Insane... |
| User ReviewGustavo AExquisite little French gem. Subtle, intimate, sad yet funny. High calibre acting. Highly recommended for the francophone. |
| User ReviewMark HThis is my all-time favorite film with Argentine tango. It shows tango as it is really danced -- not the tango fantasia which we saw too much of in Sally Potter's film «Tango Lesson.» I loved the embrace which Patrick Chesnais had with Anne Consigny. |
| User ReviewTimothy EBest Film of 2007 so far. Will review when i re- watch on DVD |
| User ReviewBea CI was really moved by this film. The main actors are excellent and I loved all the tango scenes where you don't need any dialogue to understand what's going on. Patrick Chesnais is perfect as always and Anne Consigny is atrue revelation for me. |
