| New York TimesVincent CanbyI hope that Pauline at the Beach will win new admirers for Mr. Rohmer, one of the most original and elegant film makers at work today in any country. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAnother masterpiece from French director Eric Rohmes about the different sides of love. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe beauty in the film is in the natural way the slight story evolves... |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe result is a film of devastating irony and deep compassion. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"Pauline at the Beach" is an acerbic study of romantic power games that the sexes play, and the destructive influence they have. It is a film that's easy to love. |
| User ReviewDabney JThis is one of the best Eric Rohmer movies! The main character is a 14 year old girl who ends up being the most mature and grounded of all the characters around her. A very sophisticated coming of age movie. |
| User ReviewRobert NRohmer's profound and charming comedy of romantic manners is soaked in irony and wit. It plays like an acutely observed slice of life, with Pauline serving as the moral compass for the self obsessed, bourgeoisie cast of characters as they deceive themselves and manipulate each other. The film's performers are naturalistic yet effervescent, their acting style as unique and distinctive as the screenplay. |
