Mr. Rohmer, the most cerebral, most morally committed of French directors, is also the one who seems most aware of the particular influences of geography and meteorology on people.

Middle-class Parisian suburbs: Blanche and Léa, office worker and student, meet and become friends. Léa is going out with Fabien, but is thinking of leaving him.

Léa goes on holiday and Blanche, still smitten with the dashing Alexandre, begins to get to get know Fabien. A classic Rohmer moral tale.

One of the things that makes Boyfriends and Girlfriends engaging is its ability to remain focused and intimate.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

A particular bonus here is the depiction of contemporary life in a kind of sterile suburban high-rise community that's rarely seen in the French cinema but that seems very typical of recent French life.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

It's an utterly superficial movie -- a celebration of superficiality -- and utterly charming.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Rohmer knows exactly what he is doing here. He has no great purpose, but an interesting small one: He wants to observe the everyday behavior of a new class of French person, the young professionals.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
