(1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1   "The movie leaves initially cynical Molière believing in true love after all, the rock star undone by Hallmark."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "A breezy historical romance with a strong knack for comedy."   DVDTalk.com   David Cornelius 3/5 "Un cuadro social de época vivaz y divertido, con estupendo elenco y una cuota de romance y emotividad."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B "An amusing and clever film, often laugh-out-loud funny and filled with sparkling characters."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C+ "Certainly attractive to look at, but what goes on in front of the manicured lawns and sumptuous seventeenth-century interiors is considerably less amusing than it might be."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A funny, witty, bright, and well-acted costume drama about a fictional turning point in the life of the famous French playwright Moliere."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "A blithe but satisfying French confection."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 2.5/5 "Tirard's risk-free approach of of the life of French comedy's reformer, is as light-hearted and cooky, as Lassel Hallstrom's Casanova, just starring Moliere instead of the infamous womanizer, albeit with a much more European cast."   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis B+ "Tirard presents Molière like a 17th century Woody Allen - a playwright who yearns to write drama when his forte is farce."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "What's missing, alas, is a greater sense of surprise that might keep the film from feeling somewhat rote."   Cinematical   Nick Schager 4/5 "It nevertheless contains enough wit and charm to keep things humming along even when the plot threatens to bog down into a Gallic version of a typical episode of "Love American Style.""   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4.5/5 "While this film is rather talky and a long, it's also a wonderfully complex blend of wit and cheekiness, underscored by a surprisingly serious romance and a steely view of the battle of the sexes."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 6/10 "There's not a single moment that you haven't already seen in a different, better period film."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 4/4 "One of the year's best films to date."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 15) of 15 OFCS Rating: 73% Fresh Page   1
