Clément, a young Parisian philosophy professor, is temporarily transferred to Arras, a small provincial town, for a year. Far from Paris and its nightlife, he doesn't quite know what to do with his free time. Then he meets Jennifer, a pretty hairdresser who quickly becomes his mistress. Linked by a mutual attraction, the couple seem to be immediately threatened by a host of socio-cultural differences: Clement is a rather snobbish and mysterious loner, obsessed with Kant and Proust, while Jennifer is a sweet and outgoing young mother who loves karaoke evenings with her girlfriends, tabloids and popular novels. Clément lives for the moment; Jennifer plans projects for them as a couple. Obviously, each one envisions the future of their relationship very differently. Free love and free hearts, they could live a beautiful romance together, but is it enough to bridge the gaping social and cultural divide between them?

| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...one of the best romances to come around in ages. |
| Hollywood ReporterJordan Mintzer[It's] omewhat redeemed by an endearing turn from Belgian-born star Emilie Dequenne, who brings something extra to a film that seems to be deliberately playing with Gallic rom-com stereotypes, yet has a hard time going beyond them. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdNot My Type is a modest triumph, but a triumph nonetheless. |
| User ReviewDario Dsuprising, pristine acting by Émilie Dequenne. |
| User ReviewFrançois MFin abrute. Mais romantisme intelligent et différent. Un peu à la surface parfois tout de même intéressant dans ce genre de film d'avoir un philosophe qui cite du Kant comme personnage principal. |
| User ReviewNinjaw PToo heavy for a comedy, too light for a drama. Although it doesn't have Frenchies' common strong La Nouvelle Vague smell, still looking flat & plain. |
| User ReviewFernando Miguel HHorrible. Boring actors, boring script, and awful end |
| User ReviewFrédéric Hwhat a poor story with a miserable ending ....Pass ! |
