A charmingly direct film of simple contrasts about the difficulty of change.
Tom Long, Detroit News

One way to think of Mademoiselle Chambon (a chambon is a piece of a horse's halter) is as Brief Encounter as reimagined by Eric Rohmer.
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
Rotten
Mademoiselle Chambon is moving in spots, but it doesn't stir you the way the best films about heartache do. You feel for these two star-crossed lovers, then forget about them the moment the movie is over.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

Mademoiselle Chambon is about love in midlife, about two souls meeting, and how that can be the most beautiful thing in the world but also the most inconvenient.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
