MPAA RATING: Not Rated

Starring Julie Gayet, and Michaƫl Cohen

While traveling to Nantes for one evening, Emilie meets Gabriel. Equally seduced by one another, but both otherwise committed, they know they will probably never see each other again. He would like to kiss her. She as well, but a story prevents her from doing so: that of a married woman and of her best friend who were surprised by the effects of a kiss. Of a kiss that should have born no consequences. (Music Box Films)

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
Shall We Kiss? gives us storytelling as art. Emmanuel Mouret's romantic drama, in French with English subtitles, is expert, intricate, ineffably droll, ultimately provocative and entirely enchanting.

This is upscale French entertainment at its best.

The Hollywood Reporter Gregory Valens
Misunderstandings, new turns and stratagems mark the rest of this delightful divertimento, which navigates between burlesque and romantic comedy.

New York Post V.A. Musetto
Features crisp dialogue and understated humor, played out by an attractive young cast. Audiences bred on Hollywood romances might find the film too chatty and contemplative. To them I say: Get over it, kids!

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray
The very definition of "breezy." It's a featherweight romantic comedy.

Village Voice Ella Taylor
Bogs down in the philosophical shallow end and never quite recovers from what's clearly meant to be a deceptively light tone.
