Peter Bradshaw Guardian It is the lightness of this film which is still charming; Jesse and C茅line are free from everything, free from work worries or family cares, but they are also free from the gravity of cause-and-effect, the world of consequences and responsibilities. Rated: 5/5 •  Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Anthony Lane The New Yorker The charm鈥攖he midsummer enchantment鈥攏ever feels forced; it steals up and wins you. A true romance. Jul 18, 2022 Full Review

Wallace M SIMPLESMENTE O MELHOR ROMANCE QUE J脕 ASSISTI O filme 茅 uma troca sincera de conversa, pensamentos e sentimentos entre os dois protagonistas que vai escalando de forma lenta e natural sem nenhuma pressa para chegar no cl铆max. A fotografia 茅 trabalhada de modo que transparece a rela莽茫o entre eles al茅m das in煤meras troca de olhares que deixa tudo ainda mais sincero. Por mais que seja um pouco estereotipado o Jesse 茅 um t铆pico estadunidense que pensa muito em si e com falas "problem谩ticas", por assim dizer, e a Celine 茅 uma francesa apaixonada por artes. 脡 muito legal ver como eles s茫o honestos um com o outro e consigo mesmo durante as conversas que ao decorrer do dia v茫o se tornando cada vez mais profundas e ambos se mostram interessados em descobrir mais do outro. O que eu levo desse filme 茅 que hoje em dia a gente pensa que precisa de uma semana ou um m锚s para conhecer uma pessoa, ou pelo menos criar uma conex茫o, mas na verdade d谩 para fazer tudo isso mais um pouco em menos de 24 horas se ambas as partes estiverem realmente dispostas a se conhecer de verdade e de forma sincera. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review STU L I recently watched this film again on video and gained a deeper appreciation for it than I had previously. I noticed how genuine the dialogue seemed, as if we were observing a real conversation rather than one that was designed to advance the plot. It brought back memories of a similar encounter I had with a young woman I met during my student days when I travelled through Europe. Knowing I was unlikely to return, we did not exchange addresses. In short, I consider this to be the greatest screen romance of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review
