A Tale of Autumn Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The latest in a long, rich series of films by the perceptive French director, who tells stories about people we'd like to know, or be.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Though you wouldn't know it from Hollywood's kids 'r us obsessions, directors actually can improve as they advance in age.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Eric Rohmer is the KFC of international cinema. The 79-year- old director has been doing just one thing for decades, but he does it right.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
If a part of me has resisted and sometimes even resented his mastery, this undoubtedly can be traced to a problem with realism that his work as a whole throws into relief. To put it crudely, why reproduce the real world when we have the thing itself?
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
Terrific performances and masterful direction make this a warm delight for art-minded viewers.
Palo Alto Weekly
Susan Tavernetti
With this romance, the director, now in his late 70s, completes his Tales of Four Seasons quartet on a hopeful note. Although slight in plot and slow in pace, the film offers much to admire.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
This French film is a quietly interesting but unusually perceptive story about love and relationships.
Newsweek
David Ansen
Autumn Tale [is] the final--and best--of Eric Rohmer's 1990s series Tales of the Four Seasons..what gives this romantic comedy a deeper charm, a special poignancy, is that extra seasoning these well-traveled, wonderfully imagined characters possess.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
The film is delightfully unpredictable, warm, nuanced. It's civilized entertainment.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Peter Rainer
There's a form of poetic justice in all this, and it gives the film, otherwise straitlaced, its jagged wit: Women on the lookout for love may be fools, but they make sure to turn the men who romance them into even bigger ones.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The he-said, she-said shenanigans suggest that high school may be eternal but autumn has its wisdom. In the last scene, the 78-year-old filmmaker brings his favorite conspirator back for a last dance -- it's a vintage performance that invites applause.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
The goings-on come across as a bit too lightweight.
Wall Street Journal
David Mermelstein
"A Tale of Autumn", set amid the wine culture of the Rhône Valley, looks at love from a more mature perspective, or at least an older one.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
...as enchanting and curiously touching as they are evanescent...
New York Times
As sublimely warming an experience as the autumn sun that shines benevolently on the vineyard owned by the film's central character, Magali.
Cincinnati Enquirer
Margaret A. McGurk
The 79-year-old writer-director proves that age has only purified his special ability to mine emotional truth from tiny moments with exquisite finesse.
