This Parisian story of love and loss has the most believable and sexy onscreen affair of the year.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

Mia Hansen-Løve’s One Fine Morning is a humorous and incredibly charming romantic drama about finding love when you least expect it – with an excellent performance from Léa Seydoux.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2024

Having lost her father to Benson’s syndrome during the pandemic and never getting the chance to bid farewell to him, Mia Hansen-Løve’s film feels like her final goodbye to his spirit and her attempt at seeking closure.

But it's mainly down to the strong performances of Poupaud and especially Seydoux, whose performance captures life's complications and contradictions.

Happily, this heartfelt film from Mia Hansen-Løve offers something of a ray of hope in its story of a widowed single mum, her relationship with a married scientist, and the stresses she faces managing the welfare of her mentally declining father.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 8, 2023

To date, One Fine Morning is her most gentle and moving demonstration of the tools and methods required to do this...

| Oct 4, 2023

It's a subject matter that will resonate with a lot of viewers, and Hansen-Løve treats it with her usual gaze of empathy without sentimentality.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 21, 2023

It’s a slight, warm film that doesn’t stray far beyond the bounds of what you might expect but does make an interesting companion piece with Hansen-Løve’s 2016 Berlin entry Things to Come.

| Sep 16, 2023

A film that overflows with compassion and curiosity for everyone in its frame, and one that has a contagiously heart-expanding effect on its audiences.

| Original Score: 85/100 | Jul 26, 2023

One Fine Morning breaks your heart, immediately picking it up and holding it together.

| Original Score: A | Jul 25, 2023

Visual virtuoso Mia Hansen-Løve composes a light, honest story that strikes an emotional chord as it looks at the impact of love on Lea Seydoux’s graceful Sandra.

In French filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve’s One Fine Morning (Un beau matin), books play a significant role: as physical objects, gifts, talismans, sources of connection, works in progress. Above all, books can represent a life.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2023

Hansen-Løve lets these reflections land outside the linear time of the film, finding breathing space for Sandra to process her journey as the belief in a controlled, controllable life – and its myriad choices – becomes increasingly elusive.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2023

A delicate balance between the letting go of an ailing parent and the reawakening of love and desire with an unexpected new partner is achieved with beauty and restraint

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 20, 2023

Hansen-Løve seems to delight in the ordinariness of the story. It’s almost as if she expects us to be reassured that Parisian philosophy professors, interpreters and scientists go through the same tawdry ordeals as the rest of us.

Filmmaker Mia Hansen-Love has often excelled at telling a humanist story.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jun 16, 2023

Seydoux is always worth watching even with the unbecoming, cropped hairstyle she adopts here.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 9, 2023

The film achieves intimacy, rather than mere arousal. That’s just one of the ways in which it offers a certain grandeur.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 9, 2023

I won’t describe the late scenes, partly because it would be a spoiler, and partly because, as Hansen-Løve’s style and interests suggest, any narrative solution is one option among several.

| Jun 7, 2023

The understated family drama depicted throughout One Fine Morning is effectively staged and moving to watch.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 3, 2023
