"Rohmer's swansong is droll, dignified and dull as a druid's dishwater."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

2/5
"Rohmer's swansong is droll, dignified and dull as a druid's dishwater."  Channel 4 Film  Anton Bitel

"The greatest indication that a director is in complete control of his material is when everything seems to be casually in the right place, which certainly seems to be the case in Les amours d'Astree et de Celadon."  european-films.net  Boyd van Hoeij

"Eric Rohmer has said that The Romance of Astrea and Celadon is probably his swan song, and he's not pulling any punches here."  Slant Magazine  Dan Callahan

"Blissful"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

3/5
"A screen adaptation of a 17th-century pastoral novel in which French director Eric Rohmer explores two of his favorite subjects: fidelity and jealousy."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

"It’s apparent that Rohmer is once again drawn to the orderliness of the logic and interpretation that his characters give to love, and here he is evidently deeply satisfied by the justice of the conclusion that results."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Leo Goldsmith

B+
"This is no historical portrait of ancient life but a dreamy reflection of 17th-century romanticism of the past..."  Seattle Post-Intelligencer  Sean Axmaker
