Cyrano, My Love Reviews
Luckily, it works, even if it is exhausting, thanks above all to the good work of the cast. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 13, 2020
Maybe this is all more entertaining than the real story would have been. But how much more, really?
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 6, 2019
It's fun in a superficial way, but kids, don't base your English term papers around this movie.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 16, 2019
A somewhat soggy French soufflé, still edible but hardly delectable.
| Original Score: B- | Nov 12, 2019
It's not revolutionary, but Cyrano, My Love's well-executed array of simple pleasures satisfies from start to finish.

Cyrano, My Love, is actually very much like Léo: handsome but dumb. But it uses Edmond's romantic and witty word to appeal to viewers-and it works.

[Cyrano, My Love] is definitely something to touch the heart.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2019
The other actors, especially Thomas Solivérès as Edmond, Olivier Gourmet as Coquelin, and director Michalik himself as playwright Georges Feydeau, give fine performances, clearly totally committed to the style and approach.

... a beautifully produced piece of arthouse cinema...
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 1, 2019
For us to care about the froth, we need a proper sense of the churning that creates it.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 25, 2019
There is some entertainment to be had from Gourmet's cheerfully flamboyant turn as Coquelin, but even with his effort, "Cyrano, My Love" misses the mark by a hell of a lot more than a nose.

The swooning camerawork from Fellini collaborator Giovanni Fiore Coltellacci helps transform the film's largely stage-bound action into visuals that capture the delirium of its scrappy featured players.

It captures that rebellious, hopelessly optimistic, and uniquely theatrical spirit of the show needing to go on -- even when said show hasn't been fully written yet...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 25, 2019
While Cyrano, My Love will never rival Noises Off or Topsy-Turvy in terms of sublimity in backstage drama, there is something scrappy and likable about the film.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 23, 2019
It is just an absolute joy to watch.

Cyrano, My Love would rather shower the inception of the source material with praise rather than explore the complicated dynamics of proven geniuses behaving dishonorably for the success of their art
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 19, 2019
... isn't too concerned with historical accuracy or insight into the creative process, but the endearing ensemble cast makes it work.

Do yourself a favor and follow the chaos, setbacks, frustrations and ultimate triumph of Rostand (Thomas Soliveres) that produced a masterpiece. You'll be glad you did.

As backstage movies go, this isn't as profound as Topsy Turvy but it's almost as much fun as Shakespeare in Love.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 18, 2019
"Cyrano, My Love" attempts to give the "Shakespeare in Love" treatment to the timeless French play "Cyrano de Bergerac," with shamelessly derivative yet undeniably entertaining results.
