Love in the Afternoon Reviews
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Intoxicating.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
What makes Rohmer's films so sparkling and intelligent is the way in which he watches his characters. Nothing escapes him, and he uses the angle of a glance, the tilt of a head, the precise set of a mouth, in order to create wonderfully complex characters
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Though the film is talky and boring, its moral ethic lesson is compelling even if the hero isn't.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
I suppose the ultimate point is whether or not Frdric gives in, but the ride itself is quite fascinating.
Cinema Writer
Jay Antani
a beautiful character study about what it is to love one woman and yet be in love with all women
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Just because Mr. Rohmer keeps his focus short, clear and precise, one sees deeply into the lives of his characters without the sort of pretentious distortions of most movies that deal in metapsors.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
At least as moral quandaries go, Love has one worth pondering. And if you feel otherwise, you can at least groove on the 1970s fashions.

Jeremy Heilman
There exists in Chloe's characters a rare sort of self-reflection, and it's immensely gratifying to watch in action.
Netflix
James Rocchi
It's a noteworthy portrait of love, desire and happiness.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
[Rohmer is a] cerebral French master.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
In the couple's eventual rapprochement, Rohmer argues persuasively for a love illuminated by reason, a sexuality enhanced by self-awareness.
Texas Monthly
Judith Crist
Rohmer's gift is in his subtle differentiation between the cliches of relationships and the eternal verities that are at the heart of those cliches.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An elegant and moral study of yearning in the life of a married man who's attracted another woman.
New Yorker
Pauline Kael
What is frequently described as rigor and austerity may be no more than polished aridity, polished pettiness. [Rohmer is] a clever traditionalist in a medium in which bourgeois worldliness can pass for much more.
TV Guide
A fitting close to the series.
