The Romance of Astrea and Celadon Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Rohmer left the stage with an audacious flourish, infusing a fifth-century pastoral fantasy (adapted from a seventeenth-century novel) with a lifetime of stories, passions, and big ideas.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Blissful
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
In what he claims will be his final film, 87-year-old Eric Rohmer fashions a serenely daffy coda to a half a lifetime spent behind the camera exploring the vicissitudes of romance.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie does rather run on, although it is charming and sweet, and is perhaps too languid.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
It's often as fresh and buoyant as [Rohmer's] modern takes on the battle of the sexes.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
This is no historical portrait of ancient life but a dreamy reflection of 17th-century romanticism of the past...
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
The movie looks and feels exactly how it probably was to make: like a walk in the park.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The nymphs and druids who frolic through The Romance of Astrea and Celadon occupy mythological space between Shakespeare and Greek mythology.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
I can't think of another director who would even have tried to make this mythic wonderland come alive, with its impossibly beautiful actors, lush, bucolic scenery and not even the slightest concession to contemporary notions of realism.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Tayt Harlin
Rohmer has not succumbed to pessimism or despair in his late work, and here he is as light of touch and witty as ever.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
Even though I much prefer Mr. Rohmer's forays in the contemporary world from very oblique vantage points, I find his period spirituality very genuine.
New York Press
Armond White
As Astrea and Celadon talk out their heartbreak, confusion, humility and ardor, Rohmer transports us visually, sentimentally, intellectually and spiritually.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
The movie's gravity has the effect of raising Rohmer's career-long concerns to cosmic heights.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Retro-extinct 5th century emotions, speeches substituting for dialogue, and faux lesbian lust. Lover from another planet.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Rohmer's knack for fable is manifest even in his modern-dress films, and in Astrea and Celadon a feeling of fable - of more to this story than meets the eye - is ever-present.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Bloody awful...
european-films.net
Boyd van Hoeij
The greatest indication that a director is in complete control of his material is when everything seems to be casually in the right place, which certainly seems to be the case in Les amours d'Astree et de Celadon.
SpoutBlog
Karina Longworth
For a film in which a hot-to-trot nymph princess imprisons a cross-dressing himbo, it offers a surprisingly touching celebration of the spiritual over the physical.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Pic's fantastic third act more than makes up for such occasional slogging.
Slant Magazine
Akiva Gottlieb
To borrow the film's vernacular, the words never stab into the soul.
