Movie Description
The title HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT is more ironic and telling than the unknowing viewer would dare to guess. A whimsical love story, yes it is. But its whimsy is short-lived and fades quickly to concentrate on the dark underbelly of relationships, emotional attachment, and the complexity of the human spirit. Audrey Tautou delivers a beguiling performance as Angelique, a lovely and passionate young art student. Having just received a grant to work on a series of new paintings, she rushes through her days busily working while always finding time to send secret gifts to her lover, Loic (Samuel Le Bihan). Loic is a successful cardiologist who is older and busier than Angelique. But that does not deter her dedication to him, or sway her to consider dating a classmate who says he's in love with her. Halfway through the film, writer-director Laetitia Colombani employs a narrative technique that changes everything, bringing a chilling flip side to the story. A creative and colorful work, with excellent supporting roles played by Isabelle Carre and Clement Sibony, HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT is poised to pounce as a new entry in the romantic thriller genre.

New York Times - p.E19 - Stephen Holden
"...Captivating....Tautou's beguiling smile and gamine quality are an effective counterpoint to Le Bihan's understated appeal..."
USA Today - p.13D - Claudia Puig
"...An impressively assured and confident first film....It is ultimately unsettling in the utmost, its creepiness leavened by only the slightest touch of pitch-dark humor..."
Los Angeles Times - p.C10 - Kevin Thomas
"...Tautou projects the same gamine glow, the same serene devotion to l'amour as she did in the movie that made her famous..."
