    Bilge like material revolving around the consequences of kissing those in relationships with other people. The whole film rambles on about a marriage break-up resulting from a man seeking physical solace from his childhood friend (who is married to someone else). ... And you can'...( read more)t help asking: "How on earth can these people be so naive to think that there will be no consequences?" Well, the answer is obvious: no-one is that naive.

    The collapsing marriage is fairly predictable and the moral that follows is typical French existentialist garbage.

    I kinda wonder why this received a good score on imdb.com? It's not like it's particularly well paced, or the mise en scene is that inspiring. Is it because it's cloaked in art? Emperors new clothes I'm afraid.

    Really cut movie with the two protagonists so shy at first.. their relationship is interesting... i liked the closed environement for us to watch this couple evolving.

    Quand on arrive a passer outre le casting épouvantable (exit bien sûr Julie) et la desuette (voulu) façon dont ils déclament leur texte et bien c'est pas mal du tout !

    Ce film n'a rien de la comédie romantique idéale puisqu'à défaut de bien finir, le film exploite avec profondeur et intelligence les conséquences inattendues des situations que les films à l'eau de rose s'amusent à bêtement utiliser et surutiliser sans aller plus loin. Le film dé...( read more)peint avec génie les suites indéniables de l'imprévisible, mené à terme par d'excellentes performances, des dialogues délicieux et un fondement fend-le-coeur et ce malgré une réalisation plutôt simpliste qui rajoute au réalisme chavirant des situations pourtant romancés. Si le film se savoure du début à la fin, rappelant par divers technique ce que le maître Woody Allen a pu laisser sur son passage, il pincera le coeur et la pensée lors de son dernier acte. Magnifique.

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Impossibly charming and impossibly French, Shall We Kiss? is a comic romance full of rueful musings about fidelity and true love. full review

April 17, 2009
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

An engaging romantic comedy that's deeper, smarter and more pessimistic than it appears at first glance, a film with shrewd insight into the mysteries of human attraction. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

It's an ode to the absurdity of attraction. full review

April 10, 2009
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Perhaps the film's biggest weakness is that all the characters are so naive and petty you can't really work up much fervour about who sleeps with whom. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Faultlessly tasteful but a little stale. Emmanuel Mouret wrote, directed and stars in this whimsical story of temptation and consequences. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Is Shall We Kiss? without merit? Not entirely. It has a grace, a languid charm, a pictorial elegance. The plot, when it winds up and unwinds, is ingenious. But are we expected in any sense to find the... full review

Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

The result is that Shall We Kiss? puts its viewers in a bind worthy of the lovers themselves: should we organize a Socratic symposium on the issues raised by the film, or hurl our popcorn violently at... full review

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Shall We Kiss? gives us storytelling as art. Emmanuel Mouret's romantic drama is expert, intricate, ineffably droll, ultimately provocative and entirely enchanting. full review
