Claire's Knee Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Rohmer's playful work is both witty and observant.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Comes very close to being a perfect movie of its kind.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Claire's Knee is a movie for people who still read good novels, care about good films, and think occasionally.

Kenneth R. Morefield
Claire's Knee is about desire, which is a timeless theme, and about how we justify acting on our desires, which is a very timely one.

[VIDEO ESSAY] As much a French cultural touchstone as a charming and nuanced picture of desire "Claire's Knee" is Eric Rohmer's best-known film.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Somewhere between insulting and repulsive, Claire's Knee purports to be about love but comes across as little more than infantile.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Love, sex, fetishism, and objectification all receive verbal workouts in this witty and wise enterprise.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A masterpiece.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Perhaps the director's best-known and best-liked film.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
The penultimate entry in Eric Rohmer's series of Six Moral Tales, and the loveliest, most crystalline of the lot.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A constellation of flirtations, glances, smiles and fibs pulled together by Rohmer with an exquisite Lubitsch deadpan, his camera as warm as sunlight and cutting like a scalpel
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Despite their constant chatter, the characters come alive without seeming too intellectual or too removed.
Cleveland Press
Tony Mastroianni
Rohmer somehow makes it work. He creates a feeling for his people, makes their seemingly silly conversations dramatic. His is a movie completely concerned with nuances.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A charming French film about the tug-of-war between a man's structured beliefs and his desires.
Moviepudding
Elissa Suh
A more perfect inauguration and encapsulation of warm weather...
TV Guide
One of Rohmer's greatest expressions of male-female relationships.
