You're reminded how much Rohmer valued the sound of others' voices above all, and why going out on a whimper occasionally works wonders.

David Fear, Time Out New York

The deep lure of his work is the suggestion that it is possible to be as articulate or as witty or even as extravagantly morose as a Rohmer character, to stumble across those undramatic moments of perfect grace on some beach or in some meadow.

Caryn James, New York Times

Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle is vintage Eric Rohmer, a summery slice of life shot through with light and rife with the chatter of articulate nymphs.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post

Deliberately light and nonambitious (very little of consequence occurs in any of the tales), this nevertheless shows the filmmaker at nearly peak form.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
