Café de Flore Ratings & Reviews
Vague Visages
Q.V. Hough
Fortunately for Vallée, both Paradis and Gerrier absolutely own their scenes, thus creating a strange paradox with the opposite storyline full of brilliant visuals/sounds, but forgettable characters.
That Shelf
Rachel West
To discuss how the parallel storylines come together would ruin things for anyone who has yet to watch the movie, but their collision course still packs an emotional wallop a decade later.
Times-Picayune
Mike Scott
An intriguingly unconventional drama that revels in dreamy interludes, stream-of-consciousness montages and weighty drama - but that never lives up to its stylistic promise.
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
A forgettable film.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The cumulative effect is more tedious than profound.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
It's terribly long and repetitive for so delicately dreamy a diptych, and at times the modern-day story feels like little more than a drawn-out apologia for the wandering male gaze.
Paste Magazine
Gabrielle Lipton
As abstract as the film is in theory, it is brought together with the conclusiveness of finishing a puzzle with no missing pieces.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Goes from intriguing to irritating.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Feels less like a movie than like a cinematic jigsaw puzzle whose agitation undermines the very continuity it wants to portray.
The Hollywood Reporter
Neil Young
Decade-hopping metaphysical romance descends into overwrought histrionics.
Village Voice
Brian Miller
This mushy, mystical French-Canadian melodrama tries to make parallel a pair of love stories: one between preteens with Down syndrome in 1969 Paris, and the second between a Quebecois DJ and his new amour some 40 years later.
Slant Magazine
Steve Macfarlane
Jean-Marc Valle deploys a pretty sweeping arsenal of clichs in shoving his camera through the characters' streams of consciousness.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A moving drama about how love is refined through troubles in the lives of a devoted mother in 1969 Paris and a middle-aged man in 2011 Montreal.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Acting and soundtrack are spot-on but the frequent jump-cuts and lack of a compelling comparison between families work against the film's success.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
This is a gorgeous, flashy, widescreen epic, like Boogie Nights or Casino, about the most essential things in life: Family, friends and love. But most of all, love.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
An ambitious and sporadically electrifying drama...
TIME Magazine
Mary Corliss
The film is generous to all its besotted creatures, and to the audience as well. Viewers who fall in love with Caf de Flore will find that it loves them back.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
[A] loose-limbed, emotionally complex work.
