Editorial Review:

In He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not the adorable Audrey Tautou from Amelie plays the central role in a deceptive story of a rather unusual romance. It would spoil the film's clever design to reveal what happens halfway through, so let's just say that Tautou is cast as a winsome girl in the sunny town of Bordeaux whose relationship with a married doctor has more layers than first it seems. Samuel LeBihan, from Brotherhood of the Wolf, plays the doctor, but it's the casting of cutie-pie Tautou that sets up the movie's gradually sinister undertow. Director Laetitia Colombani's inventive structure plays a satisfyingly tricky game with the audience, and may have some viewers going back to the beginning to make sure they saw what they thought they saw. Just don't go in expecting Amelie, Deuxième Partie and you should find this an ingenious little number. --Robert Horton

• A game of two halves
  If football is a game of two halves, then so is this film. Story? Woman obsessed with man. The first half shows her angle on the relationship and the second gives his entirely different take. There are some twists and turns but I couldn't get as excited as other reviewers. OK, I know Tautou's character was supposed to come over all sickly sweet but I found her irritating. And Le Bihan, whilst decent enough, is no Depardieu. I have just watched the DVD a second time to ensure I picked up all the nuances... more info

• An Intriguing Story of Love and Obsession
  À la folie... pas du tout (He Loves Me...He Loves Me Not) is one of the most thought provoking films of recent years. Tremendously romantic from the beginning before spiralling into a thrilling and complex mystery, it shows the viewer two very different sides of one "relationship".
  It focuses on the life of Angélique (Audrey Tautou), a young art student who has just been awarded the opportunity for her work to be displayed in public galleries. Her tutor reminds her that she will need to... more info

• Great story and very well acted
  This is a very enjoyable film with a few neat twists and some very good acting, particularly from the two leads.
  I knew very little about the story when I watched it so wouldn't want to give anything away other than to say nothing is quite what it seems.
  It was great to see Audrey Tatou demonstrate that her range goes well beyond the frothy fun that was Amelie and I would recommend it even to those who wouldn't usually watch a subtitled film, as it holds your attention from the first scene.

• Fantastic film!
  Wow! Just finished watching this and wanted to find similar films straight away! Keeps your attention throughout. Don't think you can get rid of the subtitles which is a bit of a shame if you don't want them but definetly worth watching.
