- 88USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigThis genre-busting movie has the appearance of a love story but morphs into a thriller, told cleverly in a nonlinear style. Think "Sliding Doors" crossed with "The Sixth Sense," with a little "Memento" thrown in.
- 80L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorL.A. WeeklyElla TaylorMercifully there's more Hitchcock than Lacan in this slickly enjoyable little number, which cannily plays off the ingénue image of "Amélie's" Audrey Tautou.

- 67Portland OregonianShawn LevyPortland OregonianShawn LevyThe film holds charms for everyone but in a very unusual way: If some audience members feel cheated at the halfway mark, others will feel that the film is finally getting started. Nifty!
- 63Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonChicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThough I wouldn't call He Loves Me a total success, it's smart, intriguing and quite ambitious, a first film by a talented young filmmaker that displays superstar Tautou's gifts in an eerie new light.

- 50Dallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufDallas ObserverGregory WeinkaufStanding on its own, it's comme ci, comme ça, self-serious when it should be adventurous, coy when it should be revelatory. One must afford it props, though, for its proud celebration of insanity. Now that is truly creepy.
- 38Boston GlobeTy BurrBoston GlobeTy BurrSettles for the cliches of American suspense films, right down to an ending that leaves the door open to a possible sequel.
