| Movie TalkJason BestMarshall and Hesme prove amiable company, but the gags they get are so ropey that it's all too easy to become distracted by the film's hazy grasp of the capital's geography. |
| Radio TimesDavid AldridgeA mildly diverting confection for a rainy day, and something that may find a more suitable home on the small screen. |
| Observer (UK)Mark KermodeA slightly naff British romcom that attempts to weld the beginning/end of the affair structure of Blue Valentine to some Richard Curtis-lite South Bank soppiness. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirAlthough there is amusing sexual tension between French corporate cost-cutter Eloise (Annelise Hesme) and sacked music company marketer Tom (Kris Marshall, who was in Love, Actually long ago), there are no surprises here. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe movie is competently put together, like a TV commercial, but the dialogue and characterisation are pretty unbearable, a Google Translate version of English, spoken by characters who are almost but not exactly like human beings. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThere's nothing particularly offensive about Sparks and Embers... The problem is there's no real charm, originality or insight |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondThe romantic sparks never fly, Hesme's accent fails to charm and the storytelling feels clumsy and contrived. |
| User ReviewConrad HI watched this middle of the night, post night shifts and not able to sleep. No expectations as no reviews yet on this site. Pleasantly surprised, loved every minute, moves you for all the right reasons and London looks beautiful! |
| User ReviewJennifer OAnneliese Hesme is so unlikable as the female lead in this cinematic flop. She and Kris Marshall go together like a fish and bicycle. I feel like slapping the casting director across the face. By the way, was she speaking English? French accents are okay, but hers is so thick, it was a labor to listen. One does need to understand the words she's saying at some point. After 30 minutes, I simply had to shut off this film. |
